Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in the IMail Client, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMail Client when processing emails containing multipart MIME data. This can be exploited to cause a data segment-based buffer overflow via an overly long "boundary" parameter (more than 212 bytes).
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in IMail Client 9.22 included with Ipswitch IMail Server 2006.22. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to IMail 2006.23.

IMail Premium:

The vendor recommends users with existing installations to delete the IMail Client application.
