Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50812
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:034 (imap)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to imap
announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:034.

A buffer overflow was discovered in the imap server that could allow a
malicious user to run code on the server with the uid and gid of the
email owner by constructing a malformed request that would trigger the
buffer overflow. However, the user must successfully authenticate to
the imap service in order to exploit it, which limits the scope of the
vulnerability somewhat, unless you are a free mail provider or run a
mail service where users do not already have shell access to the
system.

Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
