- From advisory: |

|
| 20 |
"UW-imapd can also act as IMAP client, allowing user to connect to specified |
| 21 |
server. It is disabled for anonymous users, but allowed for everyone else |
| 22 |
(even with closedBox, blackBox or restrictBox enabled). So exploiting it |
| 23 |
could give you access to the system as the logged in user." |
