The purpose of that article is to increase the number of comments in their BBS discussion area at the bottom of the article so they can serve you more ads. They post something controversial to increase traffic to the site.
No Linux distribution is shipping that version of IMAP. ALL linux distributions published fixes.
If anyone is still running that version of IMAP, they are just as stupid as a Windows user who does not install a Microsoft security patch and then complains about a problem.
It is no longer an issue. I could put a Windows machine on the net with all kinds of patches missing and claim that old security bugs still exist with it too.
