Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. 2) An input validation error in the handling of arguments passed to the DELETE command within the IMAP service (MEIMAPS.EXE) can be exploited to cause a stack overflow and crash the service by sending an overly long argument consisting of "*" or "?" characters. ====================================================================== 5) Solution Apply hotfix ME-10020: http://www.mailenable.com/hotfix/ME-10020.ZIP ====================================================================== 6) Time Table 27/11/2006 - Vendor notified. 30/11/2006 - Vendor response with hotfix information. 30/11/2006 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 7) Credits Discovered by JJ Reyes, Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 8) References N/A ====================================================================== 9) About Secunia Secunia offers vulnerability management solutions to corporate customers with verified and reliable vulnerability intelligence relevant to their specific system configuration: http://corporate.secunia.com/ Secunia also provides a publicly accessible and comprehensive advisory database as a service to the security community and private individuals, who are interested in or concerned about IT-security. http://secunia.com/ Secunia believes that it is important to support the community and to do active vulnerability research in order to aid improving the security and reliability of software in general: http://corporate.secunia.com/secunia_research/33/ Secunia regularly hires new skilled team members.
