TITLE

MailEnable of SMTP service (MESMTPC.exe) Denial of service in Japan (DoS) Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The SMTP service (MESMTPC.exe) in MailEnable 3.x and 4.25 does not properly perform a length check, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long (1) email address in the MAIL FROM command, or (2) domain name in the RCPT TO command, which triggers an "unhandled invalid parameter error.". MailEnable is a commercial mail server. MailEnable has two security vulnerabilities that allow a malicious attacker to perform a denial of service attack. - Using the strcat_s() function to append predefined log message data to the buffer without a sufficient length check can result in an illegal parameter error that cannot be handled. - Using the strcpy_s() function to copy predefined log message data to the buffer without a sufficient length check can result in an illegal parameter error that cannot be handled. MailEnable is prone to multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. MailEnable 4.25 Standard Edition, Professional Edition, and Enterprise Edition are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. NOTE: Other versions may also be affected. ====================================================================== 2) Severity Rating: Moderately critical Impact: Denial of Service Where: From remote ====================================================================== 3) Vendor's Description of Software "MailEnable's mail server software provides a powerful, scalable hosted messaging platform for Microsoft Windows.
