Summary
An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is heap exposure in nested MIME comment parsing.
An authenticated IMAP user could craft an email message containing an RFC 822 comment ending with a backslash. When parsing the message, the server would read past the message's end in memory, and read into the heap, returning the read content to the user.
By crafting an email message with a specially formed RFC 822 comment, the server could be made to read beyond the message's boundary in memory, potentially disclosing sensitive heap content to the attacker. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-125. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: cyrus-imapd.
