DescriptionNVD

An issue was discovered in Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4. There is a VPATCH BYPARAM double-free. An authenticated calendar user could crash a Cyrus CalDAV worker with a PATCH containing PATCH-ACTION="BYPARAM@..." against a resource with two or more properties of the matched kind. The memory holding the selector would be freed once on each iteration over the properties.

AnalysisAI

A double-free in the CalDAV calendar worker of Cyrus IMAP before 3.12.4 lets an authenticated calendar user crash that worker by sending a WebDAV PATCH request carrying PATCH-ACTION="BYPARAM@..." against a calendar resource that holds two or more properties of the matched kind. The vulnerability is reachable only with valid credentials and with the CalDAV/calendar component enabled (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H, CWE-415), and the assessed outcome is a worker crash/restart rather than data disclosure or code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated Cyrus IMAP calendar user (PR:L) with the ability to send CalDAV PATCH requests to the server. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but bounded availability issue, not a critical priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Cyrus IMAP 3.12.4 (3.11.x and later), 3.10.4 (3.9.x/3.10.x) or 3.8.8 (3.8.x and earlier), per the release notes linked above. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Cyrus IMAP instances and confirm which are running versions earlier than 3.12.4, and determine whether the CalDAV/calendar component is enabled on each, since that is a precondition for exploitation; where calendar services are not exposed to untrusted or broad user populations, immediate pressure is low. …
