IPSwitch IMail SMTP Buffer Overflow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment A vulnerability exists within IMail that permits remote attackers to gain SYSTEM level access to servers running IMail's SMTP daemon (versions 6.06 and below). The vulnerability stems from the IMail SMTP daemon not doing proper bounds checking on various input data that gets passed to the IMail Mailing List handler code. If a possible hacker crafts a special buffer and sends it to a remote IMail SMTP server it is possible that a possible hacker can remotely execute code (commands) on the IMail system.
