Two vulnerabilities have been found in uw-imap, an IMAP implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
It was discovered that several buffer overflows can be triggered via a long folder extension argument to the tmail or dmail program. This could lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2008-5005 ).
It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference could be triggered by a malicious response to the QUIT command leading to a denial of service (CVE-2008-5006 ).
