Checks for IMAP overflow and SMTP DoS vulnerabilities in MailEnable Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote mail server is affected by multiple issues. Description : The remote host is running a version of MailEnable Professional or MailEnable Enterprise Edition that is prone to the following vulnerabilities: - An IMAP Authenticate Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Sending an AUTHENTICATE or LOGIN command with an argument of 1016 characters or more overflows a stack-based buffer. A possible hacker can leverage this flaw to overwrite sensitive program control variables and thereby control execution flow of the server process. - An SMTP Malformed EHLO Request Denial Of Service Vulnerability The SMTP service does not properly handle malformed EHLO commands and may crash when it encounters an argument containing the character 0x99. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the SMTP service, thereby denying service to legitimate users.
