Description:
kcope has discovered a vulnerability in Mercury Mail Transport System, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the request handling in the "MercuryH PH Directory Server" protocol module. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending overly long data to port 105/tcp.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

NOTE: Exploit code is publicly available.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 4.01b, and reported in version 4.01a and all 4.10 beta versions. Prior versions may also be affected.

An unspecified possible vulnerability has also been reported by the vendor in the MercuryW PopPass server.
