Veracode Vulnerability DatabaseVERACODE:23724Privilege Escalation
EPSS
Percentile
97.3%
cyrus-imapd is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists as it was discovered that the Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) does not always reliably terminate output from the sasl_encode64() function used by programs using this library. The Cyrus IMAP server (cyrus-imapd) relied on this function’s output being properly terminated. Under certain conditions, improperly terminated output from sasl_encode64() could, potentially, cause cyrus-imapd to crash, disclose portions of its memory, or lead to SASL authentication failures.
