Synopsis

A COM object on the remote Windows host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

EasyMail Objects, a set of COM objects for supporting email protocols, is installed on the remote Windows host.

The IMAP4 component of the version of the DjVu Browser Plug-in installed on the remote host reportedly is affected by a stack buffer overflow in the 'Connect' method that can be triggered with a 500+ character hostname.
