Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50867 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:054 (imap) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to imap announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:054. Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been found in the UW-IMAP package by the authors and independant groups. These vulnerabilities can be exploited only once a user has authenticated which limits the extent of the vulnerability to a remote shell with that user's permissions. On systems where the user already has a shell, nothing new will be provided to that user, unless the user has only local shell access. On systems where the email accounts do not provide shell access, however, the problem is much greater. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2001:054 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High |
