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).

>>>>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT NOTE FOR X86_64 INSTALLATION <<<<<<<<<<<<

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.
