Summary:

A man-in-the-middle can inject cleartext forged responses to future encrypted commands by pipelining them to the STARTTLS response.

Steps To Reproduce:

Use the attached test case within the curl test system. It is based on IMAP FETCH with explicit TLS. Upon test failure, the downloaded file contains โ€œYouโ€™ve been hacked!โ€ rather than the requested mail.

Impact

Mailbox content forgery (IMAP, POP3).
Sent mail content forgery (SMTP).
