Description:
Joey Mengele has discovered a vulnerability in SurgeMail, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of the IMAP "SEARCH" command. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a "SEARCH" command with an overly long argument.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 38k. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vendor has provided beta version 3.8m.

Users are also urged to update to version 3.8k2 as soon as it becomes available.
Grant only trusted users access to the SurgeMail IMAP server.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Joey Mengele.
