Discussion

Cyrus IMAP Server 'split_wildmats()' Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Cyrus IMAP Server is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Cyrus IMAP Server versions prior to 2.3.17 and 2.4.11 are vulnerable.
