Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Command injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU14141
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14354
CWE-ID:
CWE-77 - Command injection
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to command injection. A remote attacker can use IMAP servers to inject and execute arbitrary commands via backquote characters, related to the mailboxes command associated with a manual subscription or unsubscription.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

2) Command injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU14143
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14357
CWE-ID:
CWE-77 - Command injection
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to command injection. A remote attacker can use IMAP servers to inject and execute arbitrary commands via backquote characters, related to the mailboxes command associated with an automatic subscription.

3) Path traversal
EUVDB-ID: #VU14148
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14362
CWE-ID:
CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to forbid characters that may have unsafe interaction with message-cache pathnames, as demonstrated by a '/' character. A remote attacker can conduct directory traversal attack and gain access to arbitrary data or cause the service to crash.
