The argument parser of the PARTIAL command in Cyrus IMAP Server 2.2.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a certain command ("body[p") that is treated as a different command ("body.peek") and causes an index increment error that leads to an out-of-bounds memory corruption.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-1012 is an old Cyrus IMAP Server flaw that can let an authenticated remote mail user trigger memory corruption and potentially run code on the server. It matters mainly where legacy Cyrus IMAP 2.2.6 or earlier remains in service. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Cyrus IMAP Server 2.2.6 or earlier. Internet-facing IMAP services with valid user accounts are higher risk because the vulnerability is remote but requires authentication. Treat as high priority only if legacy Cyrus IMAP is present. The business risk is server compromise through authenticated mail access, but modern or updated deployments should not be affected based on the supplied evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cyrus IMAP servers and identify versions 2.2.6 or earlier.; Apply vendor updates from the relevant Linux distribution advisory.; Upgrade Cyrus IMAP to a vendor-supported non-affected release..
