This update for cyrus-imapd fixes the following issues:

  • Previous versions of cyrus-imapd would not allow its users to disable
    old SSL variants that are vulnerable to attacks like BEAST and POODLE.
    This patch adds the configuration option ‘tls_versions’ to remedy that
    issue. Note that users who upgrade an existing installation will not
    have their imapd.conf file overwritten, i.e. their IMAP server will
    continue to support SSLv2 and SSLv3 like before. To disable support for
    those protocols, edit imapd.conf manually to include "tls_versions:
    tls1_0 tls1_1 tls1_2". New installations, however, will have an
    imapd.conf file that contains these settings already, i.e. newly
    installed IMAP servers do not support unsafe versions of SSL unless
    that support is explicitly enabled by the user. (bsc#901748)

  • An integer overflow vulnerability in cyrus-imapd’s urlfetch range
    checking code was fixed. (CVE-2015-8076, CVE-2015-8077, CVE-2015-8078,
    bsc#981670, bsc#954200, bsc#954201)

  • Support for Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) has been added to
    cyrus-imapd. (bsc#860611)
