Security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed in University of Washington IMAP Toolkit: Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2002 through 2007c, University of Washington Alpine 2.00 and earlier, and Panda IMAP allow local users to gain privileges by specifying a long folder extension argument on the command line to the tmail or dmail program; and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending e-mail to a destination mailbox name composed of a username and "+" character followed by a long string, processed by the tmail or possibly dmail program . smtp.c in the c-client library in University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2007b allows remote SMTP servers to cause a denial of service by responding to the QUIT command with a close of the TCP connection instead of the expected 221 response code . Off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char function in the RFC822BUFFER routines in the University of Washington c-client library, as used by the UW IMAP toolkit before imap-2007e and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message that triggers a buffer overflow . The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Note that the software was renamed to c-client starting from Mandriva Linux 2009.0 and only provides the shared c-client library for the imap functions in PHP. Update: Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers.
