Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities were identified in Cyrus IMAP Server, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These vulnerabilities reside in the imapd annotate extension and mailbox handling code. Furthermore stack buffer overflows have been found in fetchnews, the backend and imapd, which could be exploited by an authenticated user or an admin of a peering news server to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Cyrus IMAP Server.
