Yesterday, a security hole allowing remote root was discovered in imapd,
ipop2 and ipop3d (NOT popper). If you are running versions of these older
than 4.1-BETA (eg, the versions enclosed with 2.1.0 (and 2.1.5?)), it is a
_very_ good idea to upgrade to the version presently in the ports collection.
The executables in question is in /usr/local/libexec/{imapd,ipop2d,ipop3d}
- if these are old (not from 1997) you are certain to be afflicted with the
bug.
(Does this belong in freebsd-announce? RedHat put out an announcement...)
