Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.881318
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for cyrus-imapd CESA-2011:0859 centos4 x86_64
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-imapd'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cyrus-imapd'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The cyrus-imapd packages contain a high-performance mail server with IMAP,
POP3, NNTP, and Sieve support.

It was discovered that cyrus-imapd did not flush the received commands
buffer after switching to TLS encryption for IMAP, LMTP, NNTP, and POP3
sessions. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to inject
protocol commands into a victim's TLS session initialization messages. This
could lead to those commands being processed by cyrus-imapd, potentially
allowing the attacker to steal the victim's mail or authentication
credentials. (CVE-2011-1926)

Users of cyrus-imapd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing
the update, cyrus-imapd will be restarted automatically.

Affected Software/OS:
cyrus-imapd on CentOS 4

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.

CVSS Score:
