Description

An issue was discovered in Citadel through webcit-932. A meddler-in-the-middle attacker can fixate their own session during the cleartext phase before a STARTTLS command (a violation of "The STARTTLS command is only valid in non-authenticated state." in RFC2595). This potentially allows an attacker to cause a victim&#39;s e-mail messages to be stored into an attacker&#39;s IMAP mailbox, but depends on details of the victim&#39;s client behavior.
