<p>
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>
