能够向用户发送邮件的攻击者可以构造一个邮件头，使得 IMAP THREAD 命令消耗的 CPU 资源与邮件大小不成比例。当邮件客户端对受影响的邮箱发出 THREAD 命令时，这可能会导致 IMAP 服务性能下降或拒绝服务（DoS）。应监控系统中的异常 CPU 使用情况，终止导致问题的进程，并将有问题的邮件从受影响的邮箱中移除。更新到不受影响的版本。目前没有已知可利用的公开漏洞利用方法。

Vulnerability Title
N/A
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message header that makes the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message. When a mail client issues a THREAD command on the affected mailbox, this can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage, kill the offending process and remove the offending message from the affected mailbox. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits are known.
