Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in @Mail Webmail, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the lack of sanitisation of the "unique" parameter in compose.pl before using the value to construct a filename for saving an uploaded mail attachment. This can be exploited to upload files to arbitrary directories on the server with privileges of the web server via directory traversal attacks. The default installation of the Windows version runs the Apache web server with SYSTEM privileges.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary Perl code by e.g. uploading a Perl file into the webmail directory.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 4.3 and affects only the Windows version.
