CVE-2014-2567
CVSS v2.0
4.3
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Trojita versions prior to 0.4.1
Description
The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of cleartext for saving a message into a sent or draft folder. This is achieved via a PREAUTH response that prevents later use of the STARTTLS command, specifically exploiting the OpenConnectionTask::handleStateHelper function in Imap/Tasks/OpenConnectionTask.cpp.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 0.4.1, update to version 0.4.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the OpenConnectionTask::handleStateHelper function until a patch is available.
