The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A buffer overrun flaw was found in the IMAP handler of libcurl. By tricking an unsuspecting user into connecting to a malicious IMAP server, an attacker could exploit this flaw to potentially cause information disclosure or crash the application

tricking an unsuspecting user into connecting to a malicious IMAP server,
an attacker could exploit this flaw to potentially cause information
disclosure or crash the application. (CVE-2017-1000257)
