* CVE-2018-19518

  University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2007f on UNIX, as used in imap_open()
  in PHP and other products, launches an rsh command (by means of the
  imap_rimap function in c-client/imap4r1.c and the tcp_aopen function in
  osdep/unix/tcp_unix.c) without preventing argument injection, which might
  allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands if the IMAP server
  name is untrusted input (e.g., entered by a user of a web application) and if
  rsh has been replaced by a program with different argument semantics. For
  example, if rsh is a link to ssh (as seen on Debian and Ubuntu systems), then
  the attack can use an IMAP server name containing a "-oProxyCommand"
  argument. -- CVE listing

Severity B2 because this has the potential of RCE in situations where IMAP server connections are user-configurable (eg. in webmails).
