Checks if the remote mail server can be used to gain a shell Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote SMTP server did not complain when issued the command : MAIL FROM: |testing This probably means that it is possible to send mail that will be bounced to a program, which is a serious threat, since this permits anyone to execute arbitrary commands on this host. *** This security hole might be a false positive, since *** some MTAs will not complain to this test, but instead *** just drop the message silently Solution : upgrade your MTA or change it.
