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.
