Description

BufferedReader is used for wrapping the control channel, and uses its readLine() for getting responses from the server.

The IMAP, NNTP, POP3 and SMTP protocols require CRLF at the end of lines, but Bufferedreader#readLine() also allows bare CR and LF terminators, which could potentially be included in a server reply.
