Sid:
3072

Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a buffer
overflow associated with the several commands of an IMAP service. This
event is concerned with data supplied as a parameter to the
"status" command.
--
Impact:
A successful attack may cause a denial of service or a buffer overflow
and the subsequent execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable server.
--
Detailed Information:
This event is generated when excess data is detected in an IMAP command.
Some IMAP implementations exhibit programming errors that can lead to a
buffer overflow condition when excess data is supplied to a static
buffer.
A vulnerability exists in the way that the Mercury Mail IMAP service
handles several commands. An excessively long command argument can
trigger a denial of service or a buffer overflow and the subsequent
execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable server.
--
Affected Systems:
Pegasus Mail Mercury Mail Transport System 3.32
Pegasus Mail Mercury Mail Transport System 4.01a
--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can supplied an overly long command, causing denial of
service or a buffer overflow.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple.
--
False Positives:
None known.
--
False Negatives:
None known.
--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software.
