Description

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.
