Ipswitch IMail Server SMTP daemon buffer overflow
| ipswitch-smtp-daemon-bo (28789) |
Description:
Ipswitch IMail Server and Ipswitch Collaboration Suite are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds by the SMTP daemon. By sending an overly long string contained between the '@' and ':' characters, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
