Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in CMailServer, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable server.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the handling of the "MAIL FROM:" and "RCPT TO:" commands. A malicious person can exploit this by supplying a long, specially crafted argument to the vulnerable commands, which will result in a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation will potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
