Description of problem:
05.40.14 CVE: CAN-2005-2933
Platform: Cross Platform
Title: University of Washington IMAP Mailbox Name Buffer Overflow
Description: University of Washington IMAP is prone to a buffer
overflow vulnerability due to insufficient parsing of mailbox names in
the "mail_valid_net_parse_work()" function, which is found in the
"src/c-client/mail.c" source file. University of Washington IMAP
versions 2004f and earlier are vulnerable.

Comment 3 Ville Herva 2005-10-13 07:24:22 UTC
I took the source from                                                          
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/7.3/updates/SRPMS/imap-2001a-10.1.legacy
.src.rpm                                                                       
                                                                                
and modified the mail.c patch from                                              
http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=313&type=vulnerabilities&flas
hstatus=false                                                                  
to apply to 2001a.                                                              
                                                                                
It was just a blind patch weeding job - I didn't actually verify that           
imap-2001a isn't invulnerable to this or vulnerable to something else.          
                                                                                
I case anyone is interested, here's the modified .spec and the patch.           
                                                                                
Just do                                                                         
                                                                                
  rpm -i imap-2001a-10.1.legacy.src.rpm                                         
  cp imap.spec.patched /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/imap.spec                          
  cp imap-2001a-CAN-2005-2933_fix.patch /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/                
  rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/imap.spec                                       


Comment 4 Michal Jaegermann 2005-10-15 17:23:41 UTC
I am not sure what distribution is using what but newer ones instead of imap2000
may be using libc-client (it really should be "lib-c-client" but it is not :-)
and underneath this is exactly the same code.  It is not entirely clear how that
variant is affected but when used as library one cannot really tell how the code
will be applied.  See comments to bug #170521 for some discussion.

A patch for that is everywhere really the same save possible line offsets.

Comment 5 David Eisenstein 2005-12-07 03:40:32 UTC
Red Hat has issued RHSA-2005:850 imap security update to address CVE-2005-2933
security issue.  <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-850.html>, also
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2005-December/msg00002.html>
RedHat's Bug #169953.

Newer distros do indeed use libc-client.  RH7.3, RH9, and FC1 use Univ. of
Washington's imap, for both the imap daemon and the client code (which ends up
statically linked into whatever programs require it from the imap-devel pac-
kage).  But FC2 and newer use cyrus-imapd, and the libc-client package for the
client code (which *can* be dynamically linked, because it provides an .so).

Red hat also issued an libc-client update, RHSA-2005:848 which addresses the
same CVE-2005-2933 issue.  <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-848.html>,
also
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2005-December/msg00001.html>
RedHat's Bug #171344.

Perhaps we should roll both UW IMAP and libc-client packages into this bug?

QA w/ rpm-build-compare for both imap and libc-client:
 - source integrity good
 - spec file changes minimal
 - patches verified to come from RHEL
 
RHEL3 also fixed an IMAP crash with CRAM-MD5 which we could have included,
but I don't think that has security impact, so we can leave it out.

QA for RHL9.  Signature OK, upgrades OK.  Rpm-build-compare.sh on
the binaries also looks OK.  Basic testing OK.

  * SHA1SUMs fine.
  * Signatures fine.
  * Installed great.
  * I'm a heavy user of imap to have Mozilla Mail talk to my home mail
    directory.  Have seen no problems whatsoever in using imap with Mozilla
    Mail or pine.
  * Tested its builtin SSL/TLS with pine and Mozilla mail.  Works great.  
    Imapd selects cipher TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, which seems pretty
    darn secure.
  * Don't know how to test for the buffer overflow.  Assume it's fixed.

Oh, bumped the timeout date up a week, per our new policy.  Hope that's
okay.

installs fine.  i use IMAP *all* the time on that server, and it's still
working fine with SSL.
