Description: muts has discovered a vulnerability in MailCarrier, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of "HELO" and "EHLO" commands. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long argument.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been confirmed on version 2.51. Other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: Exploit code is available.
