TITLE

Ipswitch IMail Server SEARCH Command Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Ipswitch IMail Server is a mail server bundled in the Ipswitch collaboration component. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the IMail server processing parameters of the SEARCH command request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to control the server. The IMail server has a stack buffer overflow problem when dealing with multiple options of the SEARCH command (BEFORE, ON, SINCE, SENTBEFORE, SENTON, SENTSINCE). The remote attacker can trigger an overflow by submitting a malformed SEARCH request, resulting in arbitrary instructions. Ipswitch IMail Server and Collaboration Suite (ICS) are prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because these applications fail to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. These versions are reported vulnerable to these issues: Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) 2006 IMail Premium 2006.2 and 2006.21 Other versions may also be affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA test the new Secunia Personal Software Inspector! The Secunia PSI detects installed software on your computer and categorises it as either Insecure, End-of-Life, or Up-To-Date. Effectively enabling you to focus your attention on software installations where more secure versions are available from the vendors. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows via overly long, quoted or unquoted arguments passed to the command. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to the IMAP service.
