Thanks for sending this.  I started addressing the SQL injection
vulnerabilities last March with code that made it into the 5.5.0
development release.  That code flowed into the 5.4.6 release on June
30th.  I had marked that release as "development" instead of "stable",
but it's in use by many sites in production, so I'll switch it over to
"stable" today.

Vpopmail sites using any SQL backend (i.e., non-cdb sites) should  upgrade
to the 5.4.6 release to close off the SQL injection
vulnerabilities in previous releases.  The vulnerabilities made it
possible for a remote attacker to insert additional SQL commands into
data passed into POP/IMAP login, SMTP AUTH, or a QmailAdmin login.

The possible buffer overflow is in the code for adding a user, so it
would only be exploitable by an admin.  Even so, I've fixed the problem
in CVS and the change will be in the next stable release.  I've also
contacted the publisher of the original report (but have not posted a
followup to bugtraq since I'm not a subscriber).
