It was discovered that cyrus-imapd, a highly scalable mail system designed for use in enterprise environments, is not properly parsing mail headers when a client makes use of the IMAP threading feature. As a result, a NULL pointer is dereferenced which crashes the daemon. An attacker can trigger this by sending a mail containing crafted reference headers and access the mail with a client that uses the server threading feature of IMAP.
