Package: cyrus-murder
Version: 3.6.1-4+deb12u2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch, fixed-upstream

The patch for CVE-2024-34055 breaks the implementation of the mupdate
protocol. This causes "ctl_mboxlist -m" to fail, which is by default
executed on the start of cyrus-imapd in a clustered setup. Therefore,
the current version of the cyrus-murder package is in an unusable state.
Non-clustered setups shouldn't be affected.

The cause and the fix (applied to recent versions only) are discussed
here https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/4932

The fixes have not (yet?) been backported to the 3.6 branch.

A more simple patch is given here:
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/4937#issuecomment-2178372505

I've come to a similar approach as I was unaware of the Github issue
when encountering the problems and can confirm that the two-line-fix
also resolves the issue.

It is very likely that the regression also applies to the Bullseye package.

Matthias
