A cyrus-imapd security update is available for Fedora Core 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-339
2005-04-27
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : cyrus-imapd
Version : 2.2.12
Release : 1.1.fc3
Summary : A high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP and SIEVE support.
Description :
The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server. It is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use from small to large enterprise environments using standards-based internet mail technologies.

A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed" servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP server. All user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. TLSv1 and SSL are supported for security.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Several buffer overflow bugs were found in cyrus-imapd. It is possible that an authenticated malicious user could cause the imap server to crash. Additionally, a peer news admin could potentially execute arbitrary code on the imap server when news is received using the fetchnews command. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0546 to this issue.

In addition this version of the rpm contains a collection of other fixes since the last FC3 update (see below changelog).

gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;IMPORTANT NOTE FOR X86_64 INSTALLATION lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;lt;

This rpm also fixes bug #156121 that incorrectly placed some
executables /usr/lib64/cyrus-imapd. /usr/lib64 is reserved for 64 bit libraries and this caused problems for existing scripts that expected to find them in a canonical location (/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd) and violated the multilib packaging guidelines. Only references external to the cyrus-imapd package are affected by this, the rpm is self consistent. The most notable example is /usr/lib64/cyrus-impad/deliver which is now /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver (use of lmtp is encouraged in preference to deliver). This change only affects x86_64 installations.
