+ Improper bounds checking of user supplied data while parsing IMAP
+ mailbox names can lead to overflowing the stack buffer.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation requires an authenticated IMAP user to
+ request a malformed mailbox name. This can lead to execution of
+ arbitrary code with the permissions of the IMAP server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There are no known workarounds at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All uw-imap users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/uw-imap-2004g"</code>
