Description:
Mati Aharoni has discovered a vulnerability in MailEnable Standard, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in the handling of command arguments in the SMTP communication. This can be exploited to crash a vulnerable service or potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a specially crafted command argument.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.8. Other versions may also be affected.
