Check for the version of the cyrus packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Updated cyrus-imapd packages that fix several buffer overflow security issues are now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server.
