net-imap: Denial of service via high iteration count for `SCRAM-*` authentication

Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. From versions 0.4.0 to before 0.4.24, 0.5.0 to before 0.5.14, and 0.6.0 to before 0.6.4, when authenticating a connection with SCRAM-SHA1 or SCRAM-SHA256, a hostile server can perform a computational denial-of-service attack on the client process by sending a big iteration count value. This issue has been patched in versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4.

Affected products

net-imap
  • ==>= 0.6.0, < 0.6.4
  • ==>= 0.4.0, < 0.4.24
