  POP3, NNTP, and Sieve support.

  An authentication bypass flaw was found in the cyrus-imapd NNTP server,
  nntpd. A remote user able to use the nntpd service could use this flaw to
  read or post newsgroup messages on an NNTP server configured to require
  user authentication, without providing valid authentication credentials.
  (CVE-2011-3372)

  A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the cyrus-imapd IMAP server,
  imapd. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted mail message to a
  victim that would possibly prevent them from accessing their mail normally,
  if they were using an IMAP client that relies on the server threading IMAP
  feature. (CVE-2011-3481)

  Red Hat would like to thank the Cyrus IMAP project for reporting the
  CVE-2011-3372 issue. Upstream acknowledges Stefan Cornelius of Secunia
  Research as the original reporter of CVE-2011-3372.

  Users of cyrus-imapd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
  which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing
  the update, cyrus-imapd will be restarted automatically.");
