TITLE:
IPSwitch IMail Server IMail Client Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26905

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26905/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Ipswitch IMail Server 2006
http://secunia.com/product/8653/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in the IMail Client,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMail
Client when processing emails containing multipart MIME data. This
can be exploited to cause a data segment-based buffer overflow via an
overly long "boundary" parameter (more than 212 bytes).

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in IMail Client 9.22 included with
IPSwitch IMail Server 2006.22. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends users to delete the IMail Client application,
which will be removed from the next major release of the IPSwitch
IMail Server.
