CVE-2021-33582

cyrus-imapd: Denial of service via string hashing algorithm collisions

Published Sep 1, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 3.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Cyrus IMAP before 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (multiple-minute daemon hang) via input that is mishandled during hash-table interaction. Because there are many insertions into a single bucket, strcmp becomes slow. This is fixed in 3.4.2, 3.2.8, and 3.0.16.
