Stefan Esser reported various bugs within the Cyrus IMAP Server. These include buffer overflows and out-of-bounds memory access which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root. The bugs occur in the pre-authentication phase, therefore an update is strongly recommended.

Solution

There is no temporary workaround except shutting down the IMAP server.
