Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Novell NetMail, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the NMAP (Network Messaging Application Protocol) service when handling STOR commands can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by passing an overly long argument to the command.

Successful exploitation requires a valid user account.

2) A boundary error in the IMAP service when handling the SUBSCRIBE command can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string as argument.

Successful exploitation requires a valid user account.

3) An unspecified error in the IMAP service when handling the APPEND command can be exploited to cause a DoS.

Successful exploitation requires a valid user account.

4) An input validation error in the IMAP service when processing command continuation requests can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

5) A boundary error in the IMAP service when handling the APPEND command can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing a specially crafted, overly long argument to the command.

Successful exploitation requires a valid user account.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.5.2. Other versions may also be affected.
