------- Comment #1 From Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2005-09-09 23:07:10 0000 ------- 
net-mail do we install any init script for imap4d and if so which user does it 
run as? Please advise and bump as necessary.

------- Comment #2 From Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2005-09-10 01:57:09 0000 ------- 
No, we don't install an init script for imap4d. I'll try to bump it later.

Cheers,
Ferdy

Rerating as C1 (marginal software with specific configuration) still it is  
rated as major severity.

------- Comment #4 From Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2005-09-10 15:53:39 0000 ------- 
mailutils-0.6-r2 is in CVS with that patch.

Cheers,
Ferdy

Keyworded alright, ready for GLSA

------- Comment #6 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-09-11 02:52:04 0000 ------- 
Let's have a vote, because impact is not that obvious...

Authenticated users may execute code as the user imap4d runs at. Since imap4d
apparently supports non-system auth, this may open the system to unauthorized
access... I tend to vote YES.

------- Comment #7 From Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2005-09-11 03:08:15 0000 ------- 
We don't provide an init script and only authenticated users can supposedly 
exploit the vulnerability. I vote NO.

------- Comment #8 From Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) 2005-09-14 03:14:22 0000 ------- 
I vote YES, for the reasons koon mentioned.

------- Comment #9 From Stefan Cornelius (RETIRED) 2005-09-14 03:18:58 0000 ------- 
yes over here, too
