+ Courier MTA is a multiprotocol mail server suite that provides webmail,
+ mailing lists, IMAP, and POP3 services. Courier-IMAP is a standalone server
+ that gives IMAP access to local mailboxes.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The vulnerabilities have been found in the 'SHIFT_JIS' converter in
+ 'shiftjis.c' and 'ISO2022JP' converter in 'so2022jp.c'. An attacker may
+ supply Unicode characters that exceed BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) range,
+ causing an overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker without privileges may exploit this vulnerability remotely, allowing arbitrary code to be executed in order to gain unauthorized access.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are
+ advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected packages.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users should upgrade to current versions of the affected packages:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv ">=net-mail/courier-imap-3.0.0"
+ # emerge ">=net-mail/courier-imap-3.0.0"
+
+ # ** Or; depending on your installation... **
+
+ # emerge -pv ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45"
+ # emerge ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45"
+ </code>
