Synopsis
========

UW IMAP contains a vulnerability in the code handling CRAM-MD5
authentication allowing authentication bypass.

Background
==========

UW IMAP is the University of Washington IMAP toolkit which includes
POP3 and IMAP daemons.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package           /  Vulnerable  /                     Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-mail/uw-imap      <= 2004a                           >= 2004b


Description
===========

A logic bug in the code handling CRAM-MD5 authentication incorrectly
specifies the condition for successful authentication.

Impact
======

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to authenticate as any
mail user on a server with CRAM-MD5 authentication enabled.

Workaround
==========

Disable CRAM-MD5 authentication.

Resolution
==========

All UW IMAP users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/uw-imap-2004b"
