Last modified
CVE-2021-3657 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in mbsync versions prior to 1.4.4. Due to inadequate handling of extremely large (>=2GiB) IMAP literals, malicious or compromised IMAP servers, and hypothetically even external email senders, could cause several different buffer overflows, which could conceivably be exploited for remote code execution.. EPSS estimates a 3.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
