Ipswitch IMail < 8.15 Hotfix 1 IMAP EXAMINE Argument Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 2695

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.

Description

The remote host is running a version of the Ipswitch Collaboration
Suite / Ipswitch IMail IMAP server that is prone to a buffer overflow
when processing an EXAMINE command with a long argument.
Specifically, if an authenticated attacker sends an EXAMINE command
with a malformed mailbox name of 259 bytes, the attacker will overwrite the
saved stack frame pointer and potentially gain control of process
execution.

Solution

Apply IMail Server 8.15 Hotfix 1 (February 3, 2005) or upgrade to a version greater than 8.15 when it becomes available.
