Description:
H D Moore has discovered a vulnerability in MailEnable, 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 boundary error in the IMAP service when handling the "LOGIN" command. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long argument (more than 1024 bytes).
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in MailEnable Professional version 1.54 with hotfix MEIMSM-HF050404 applied. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vendor has released a hotfix which reportedly fixes the vulnerability:
