Synopsis
========
Format string vulnerabilities in IMAP Proxy may lead to the execution
of arbitrary code when connected to malicious IMAP servers.
Background
==========
IMAP Proxy (also known as up-imapproxy) proxies IMAP transactions
between an IMAP client and an IMAP server.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 net-mail/up-imapproxy < 1.2.4 >= 1.2.4
Description
===========
Steve Kemp discovered two format string errors in IMAP Proxy.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could design a malicious IMAP server and entice
someone to connect to it using IMAP Proxy, resulting in the execution
of arbitrary code with the rights of the victim user.
Workaround
==========
Only connect to trusted IMAP servers using IMAP Proxy.
Resolution
==========
All IMAP Proxy users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/up-imapproxy-1.2.4"
