Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cyrus-imapd package and not the cyrus-imapd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in cyrus-imapd in Cyrus IMAP through 3.12.2. There is heap exposure in nested MIME comment parsing. An authenticated IMAP user could craft an email message containing an RFC 822 comment ending with a backslash. When parsing the message, the server would read past the message's end in memory, and read into the heap, returning the read content to the user.
