+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Courier-IMAP is an IMAP server which is part of the Courier mail
+ system. It provides access only to maildirs.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ There is a format string vulnerability in the auth_debug() function
+ which can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to arbitrary code
+ execution as the user running the IMAP daemon (oftentimes root). A
+ remote attacker may send username or password information containing
+ printf() format tokens (such as "%s"), which will crash the server or
+ cause it to execute arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This vulnerability can only be exploited if DEBUG_LOGIN is set to
+ something other than 0 in the imapd config file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ If DEBUG_LOGIN is enabled in the imapd configuration, a remote attacker
+ may execute arbitrary code as the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Set the DEBUG_LOGIN option in /etc/courier-imap/imapd to 0. (This is
+ the default value.)
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All courier-imap users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-mail/courier-imap-3.0.5"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-mail/courier-imap-3.0.5"</code>
+ </resolution>
