SurgeMail "SEARCH" Command Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

http://secunia.com/advisories/26464/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SurgeMail 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/4823/

DESCRIPTION:
Joey Mengele has discovered a vulnerability in SurgeMail, which can
be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of the IMAP "SEARCH" command. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by sending a "SEARCH" command with an
overly long argument.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 38k. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to the SurgeMail IMAP server.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Joey Mengele.
