perdition (1.17-7ubuntu0.7.04.1) feisty-security; urgency=low
* SECURITY UPDATE: The format string protection
mechanism in IMAPD for Perdition Mail Retrieval
Proxy 1.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code via an IMAP tag with a null
byte followed by a format string specifier,
which is not counted by the mechanism.
* perdition/imap4_in.c: Added patch according to upstream (LP: #162543)
(See:
http://perdition.cvs.sourceforge.net/perdition/perdition/perdition/imap4_in.c?r1=1.45&r2=1.46)
