Title: Courier-IMAP XMAILDIR Shell Command Injection Vulnerability

Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

Courier-IMAP is an IMAP daemon for Linux and UNIX systems.

The application is prone to a shell command-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'XMAILDIR' variable.

Commands executed through this vulnerability could permit an attacker to gain access to a vulnerable system.

Courier-IMAP versions for Gentoo prior to 4.0.6-r2 are vulnerable to this issue.

Affected Products:

  • Gentoo net-mail/courier-imap 4.0.1
