Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-05-17 09:39:52 UTC 
It was found, that Cyrus IMAP recognized IMAP, LMTP, NNTP and POP3
protocol commands during plaintex to TLS session switch (by TLS protocol
initialization). A remote attacker could use this flaw to insert
plaintext, protocol relevant, commands into TLS protocol initialization
messages, leading to execution of these commands during the ciphertext
protocol phase, potentially allowing the attacker to steal the victim's
mail or authentication credentials.
