Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'cyrus-imapd-2.2' package(s) announced via the DSA-2318-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security issues have been discovered in cyrus-imapd, a highly scalable mail system designed for use in enterprise environments. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2011-3208

Coverity discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the NNTP server implementation (nttpd) of cyrus-imapd. An attacker can exploit this flaw via several crafted NNTP commands to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2011-3372

Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research discovered that the command processing of the NNTP server implementation (nttpd) of cyrus-imapd is not properly implementing access restrictions for certain commands and is not checking for a complete, successful authentication. An attacker can use this flaw to bypass access restrictions for some commands and, e.g. exploit CVE-2011-3208 without proper authentication.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2_2.2.13-14+lenny5.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2_2.2.13-19+squeeze2.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in cyrus-imapd-2.4 version 2.4.12-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cyrus-imapd-2.2 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'cyrus-imapd-2.2' package(s) on Debian 5, Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
