php_imap.c in PHP 5.2.5, 5.2.6, 4.x, and other versions, uses obsolete API
calls that allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long IMAP request, which
triggers an “rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow” error message,
related to the rfc822_write_address function.

Notes

Author	Note
mdeslaur	The imap plugin is in a separate package (php-imap). Although usn-628-1 patched the php source for this, the code is not actually built.
