Summary

In Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4, there is a double-free vulnerability in the VPATCH BYPARAM mechanism. An authenticated calendar user can crash a CalDAV worker by sending a PATCH request with PATCH-ACTION="BYPARAM@..." against a resource with two or more properties of the matched kind. The memory holding the selector is freed multiple times during iteration over properties.

Risk Assessment

An attack can cause a denial of service of the CalDAV service, leading to unavailability of calendars for other users. Double-free can also lead to unpredictable system behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Cyrus IMAP to version 3.12.4 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
