Debian DLA-1976-1 : imapfilter security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 130405

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The imapfilter tool, a utility for scripting IMAP operations in lua, lacked server name / certificate peer hostname validation support.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.5.2-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your imapfilter packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected imapfilter package.
