Description:
Muts has discovered a vulnerability in IMail Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP service ("IMAP4D32.exe") when processing "DELETE" commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing a "DELETE" command with an overly long argument (about 300 bytes).

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 8.13. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Apply IMail Server 8.14 Hotfix 1:
ftp://ftp.ipswitch.com/Ipswitch/Product_Support/IMail/IM814HF1.exe

Provided and/or discovered by:
Muts

Changelog:
