high Nessus Plugin ID 19960

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in up-imapproxy, an IMAP protocol proxy, which may lead remote attackers to the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the imapproxy package.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.3-1sarge1.
