Last modified
CVE-2021-44143 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in mbsync in isync 1.4.0 through 1.4.3. Due to an unchecked condition, a malicious or compromised IMAP server could use a crafted mail message that lacks headers (i.e., one that starts with an empty line) to provoke a heap overflow, which could conceivably be exploited for remote code execution.. EPSS estimates a 3.66% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
