TITLE:
EasyMail Objects IMAP4 Component "Connect" Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24199

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24199/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
EasyMail Objects 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/13496/

DESCRIPTION:
Paul Graig has reported a vulnerability in EasyMail Objects, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP4
component of EasyMail Objects when processing arguments passed to the
"Connect" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via an overly long (greater than 500 bytes) string passed as
the host name argument to the said method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code and
requires that the user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious web
site.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.5.
