The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200911-03 (UW IMAP toolkit: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the UW IMAP toolkit:
Aron Andersson and Jan Sahlin of Bitsec reported boundary errors in     the 'tmail' and 'dmail' utilities when processing overly long mailbox     names, leading to stack-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-5005).
An error in smtp.c in the c-client library was found, leading to a     NULL pointer dereference vulnerability (CVE-2008-5006).
Ludwig     Nussel reported an off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char()     function in the RFC822BUFFER routines in the c-client library, as used     by the UW IMAP toolkit (CVE-2008-5514).

Impact :

A remote attacker could send an e-mail to a destination mailbox name     composed of a username and '+' character followed by a long string,     possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. A local attacker     could gain privileges by specifying a long folder extension argument to     the tmail or dmail program. Furthermore, a remote attacker could send a     specially crafted mail message to the UW IMAP toolkit or another daemon     using the c-client library, leading to a Denial of Service. A remote     SMTP server could respond to the QUIT command with a close of the TCP     connection instead of the expected 221 response code, possibly leading     to a Denial of Service.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
