ipop3d 3.3(20) and imapd 7.8(100) are both several years old.  The security
problems in those versions were published years ago.  Those bugs were also
fixed years ago.  What is your point?

ALL ABOVE IS TRUE ONLY FOR PINE, NOT FOR PINE COMPOONENTS (as ipop3d or

any user to read /etc/shadow). I tryed to explit pine, ipop3d [POP3
3.3(20) w/IMAP2 client (Comments to MRC () CAC Washington EDU)] and imap
[IMAP2bis Service 7.8(100)].

1) I could not execute any code using pine although gdb shows I
   overwrited stack ret and ip register points to what I want.
2) I could read /etc/shadow exploiting ipop3d.
3) I could read /etc/shadow exploiting imap.
