The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-04 (IMAP Proxy: Format string vulnerabilities)

Steve Kemp discovered two format string errors in IMAP Proxy.

Impact :

A remote attacker could design a malicious IMAP server and entice     someone to connect to it using IMAP Proxy, resulting in the execution     of arbitrary code with the rights of the victim user.

Workaround :

Only connect to trusted IMAP servers using IMAP Proxy.
