RHBA-2012:0708 - cyrus-imapd bug fix update

Synopsis

cyrus-imapd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cyrus-imapd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The cyrus-imapd packages contain a high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP, and SIEVE support.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the idled daemon incorrectly used signals for communication with the imapd daemon. This could cause a user's mailbox to become unresponsive. To prevent this problem, idled no longer uses signals to communicate with imapd; the AF_UNIX datagram sockets are now used instead. (BZ#818209)

All users of cyrus-imapd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
