TITLE

Ipswitch IMail Server Mailbox Service Rejection Vulnerability

Trust: 0.6

sources: CNNVD: CNNVD-200110-045

DESCRIPTION

The webmail interface for Ipswitch IMail 7.04 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a mailbox name that contains a large number of . (dot) or other characters to programs such as (1) readmail.cgi or (2) printmail.cgi, possibly due to a buffer overflow that may allow execution of arbitrary code. Ipswitch IMail is an email server that serves clients their mail via a web interface. IMail supports most common email protocols such as SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, and LDAP, etc. The IPSwitch IMail Server webmail interface is prone to a denial of service. Theweb interface will crash if a mailbox with a name that contains 248+ dots('.') is accessed. If the webmail interface crashes then it must be restarted to regain normal functionality. CGI scripts that access mailboxes may also induce a denial of service in the same manner. Though it is unconfirmed, this issue may be caused by a buffer overflow. If thisis the case, a possibility does exist that this issue may be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the host. (dot) or other characters, resulting in service denial (crash)
