7 security issues in bookworm high

There are 7 open security issues in bookworm.

6 important issues:

CVE-2026-61907: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. JMAP snooze bypasses the destination-mailbox ACL. An authenticated user with insert permissions on another user's snoozed mailbox could cause insertion of mail to that user's inbox, or any other of their mailboxes whose id was known to the user, despite having no insert permissions to the target mailbox.
CVE-2026-61908: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. A JMAP email-header blob ID can reference an out-of-bounds index. An authenticated user could attempt to download a crafted JMAP blob ID of the form H<emailid>-<index>, which could read past the end of the internal blob_headers array during download, exposing adjacent heap memory.
CVE-2026-61909: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. CalDAV/CardDAV multiget bypasses a per-href ACL. An authenticated DAV user with some shared access to another user's calendar or address book could read even unshared events or contacts by including the target hrefs in a calendar-multiget or addressbook-multiget REPORT.
CVE-2026-61910: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. Mailbox/set let a sharee change a special-use role on shared mailboxes. An authenticated user with maySetKeywords on another user's mailbox could change that mailbox's specialuse annotation. This could allow the sharee to change the shared mailbox to perform the archived, snoozed, or other role, which might cause mail mail to be written to the shared mailbox, sharing more content than intended. (This is likely to be an unusual situation, made more unusual because if the target already has an non-shared mailbox with that role, role duplication suppression will prevent the update.)
CVE-2026-61911: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. There is a Sieve mailbox existence oracle. An authenticated user could install a Sieve script that probed whether another user's private mailbox existed, or read the value of shared mailbox annotations, by observing which fileinto branch fired during LMTP delivery.
CVE-2026-61915: An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. There is a VPATCH BYPARAM double-free. An authenticated calendar user could crash a Cyrus CalDAV worker with a PATCH containing PATCH-ACTION="BYPARAM@..." against a resource with two or more properties of the matched kind. The memory holding the selector would be freed once on each iteration over the properties.

1 issue postponed or untriaged:

CVE-2026-47083: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is an ESEARCH cross-user content oracle. By using the ESEARCH command, an authenticated IMAP user could enumerate folder names under any account they could name. Search would return UIDs of messages matching the search, creating a content oracle (without allowing arbitrary reads of the target's content).

10 security issues in bullseye high

There are 10 open security issues in bullseye.

9 important issues:

CVE-2026-47081: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is an XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE folder existence oracle and push hijack. An authenticated IMAP user could probe for the existence of arbitrary mailboxes on other users' accounts via the XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE command and then create Apple Push Notification Service notifications for new mail in those mailboxes to their own APNS device. This did not leak any data about the content of mailboxes. Instead, a "mailbox has changed" notice would be pushed when the mailbox modseq changed.
CVE-2026-47082: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. The vacation "fcc" feature skips the destination-mailbox ACL. A user whose vacation Sieve script used :fcc (to save a copy of the sent message) could deliver vacation auto-reply copies into any mailbox the script could name, regardless of whether the script owner had insert permissions on the destination mailbox.
CVE-2026-47083: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is an ESEARCH cross-user content oracle. By using the ESEARCH command, an authenticated IMAP user could enumerate folder names under any account they could name. Search would return UIDs of messages matching the search, creating a content oracle (without allowing arbitrary reads of the target's content).
CVE-2026-47084: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. The LOCALDELETE command bypassed ACL checks. An authenticated but non-admin user could invoke the admin-only LOCALDELETE IMAP command and delete mailboxes for which they had no permissions.
CVE-2026-47085: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. URLAUTH token forgery can occur via a missing mboxkey. If an attacker knew a folder name on the victim's account for which the victim had never issued an auth URL, they could forge a working URLAUTH token by computing an HMAC-SHA1 value with a predictable key, giving them read access to the mailbox. (URLAUTH is an obscure feature, meaning that the odds of any user actually being susceptible to this attack are very low. Perhaps no public clients use URLAUTH.)
CVE-2026-47086: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. GENURLAUTH-issued tokens can bypass ACLs. Any authenticated user could mint a URLAUTH token (via the GENURLAUTH command) for any mailbox they could name, even without read access on it. This would allow reading mail from mailboxes despite having no granted permissions.
CVE-2026-47087: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. URLAUTH does not honor revoked authorizer access. A URLAUTH URL minted while the authorizer had access continued to work after that access was revoked.
CVE-2026-47088: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is heap exposure in nested MIME comment parsing. An authenticated IMAP user could craft an email message containing an RFC 822 comment ending with a backslash. When parsing the message, the server would read past the message's end in memory, and read into the heap, returning the read content to the user.
CVE-2026-47089: An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. LISTRIGHTS os not limited to users with admin access. An authenticated user could call IMAP LISTRIGHTS against any mailbox they could name and learn what principals had what access to it. (This action should have been restricted to users with admin access on the target mailbox.)

1 ignored issue:

CVE-2024-34055: Cyrus IMAP before 3.8.3 and 3.10.x before 3.10.0-rc1 allows authenticated attackers to cause unbounded memory allocation by sending many LITERALs in a single command.

1 new commit since last upload, is it time to release? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have new commits in its VCS but has not yet updated debian/changelog. You should consider updating the Debian changelog and uploading this new version into the archive.

Here are the relevant commit logs:

commit 154f0704904a6ef0e02f943c02d52406797fb11a
Author: Edmund Lodewijks <edmund@proteamail.com>
Date:   Tue Sep 1 15:58:33 2026 +0200

    Fix double-build FTBFS in override_dh_auto_clean (Closes: #1044140, #1049814)
    
    override_dh_auto_clean unconditionally rewrote perl/annotator/Makefile.PL
    on every clean. That bumps its mtime past perl/annotator/Makefile's once
    a build has already run, so MakeMaker's generated Makefile refuses to
    clean itself on a second build/clean cycle. Only rewrite the file when
    its content actually changes.
    
    The bugs are tagged fixed-upstream, but the upstream fix
    (cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd#5757) is part of the 3.13/3.14 build-system
    rewrite and will not be backported to the 3.12.x branch, so this
    workaround is needed in the meantime.
