CVE Catalog

CVE-2004-1012

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The argument parser of the PARTIAL command in Cyrus IMAP Server 2.2.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a certain command ("body[p") that is treated as a different command ("body.peek") and causes an index increment error that leads to an out-of-bounds memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of an authenticated attacker taking control of the mail server, which could lead to leakage of sensitive data, service disruption, or further attacks on the infrastructure.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade the Cyrus IMAP server to a version later than 2.2.6, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
