Check for the version of the libc-client package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-1115 (libc-client). C-client is a common API for accessing mailboxes. It is used internally by the popular PINE mail reader, the University of Washington's IMAP server and PHP. Update Information: The c-client library provides an API which permits applications to access and manipulate remote mail boxes. The library contains a bug in its mail_valid_net_parse() function. If an application permits untrusted input to be supplied to this function, its stack may become corrupted. This update backports the fix from imap-2004g which resolves this issue.
