The remote NNTP server contains a logic error that causes clients that send only a username, neglecting to send a password, to be treated as authenticated.  This may permit an unauthenticated, remote attacker to view and post to restricted newsgroups, impersonating other users in the process.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1508 advisory.

    The cyrus-imapd packages contain a high-performance mail server with IMAP,     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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An authentication bypass (CVE-2011-3372) and a DoS vulnerability (CVE-2011-3481) have been fixed in the Cyrus IMAPd nntpd.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-1508 advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in cyrus-imapd :

Stack-based buffer overflow in the split_wildmats function in nntpd.c in nntpd in Cyrus IMAP Server before 2.3.17 and 2.4.x before 2.4.11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted NNTP command (CVE-2011-3208).

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Cyrus IMAPd, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions. The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the authentication mechanism of the NNTP server, which can be exploited to bypass the authentication process and execute commands intended for authenticated users by sending an AUTHINFO USER command without a following AUTHINFO PASS command (CVE-2011-3372).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
