Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:152912
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:152912.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the c-client IMAP client. An attacker
could create a malicious IMAP server that if connected to by a victim could
execute arbitrary code on the client machine. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0297
to this issue.

A logic error in the CRAM-MD5 code in the University of Washington IMAP
(UW-IMAP) server was discovered. When Challenge-Response Authentication
Mechanism with MD5 (CRAM-MD5) is enabled, UW-IMAP does not properly enforce
all the required conditions for successful authentication, which could
allow remote attackers to authenticate as arbitrary users. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CVE-2005-0198 to this issue.

Users of imap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
