description | The remote host is running the ArGoSoft WebMail interface. The version found on the remote host is reportedly affected by multiple remote vulnerabilities : - A directory traversal vulnerability could allow remote users access to all files on the host. - A denial of service vulnerability exists which could allow remote attackers with regular user privileges to create a mail-loop condition that will consume all system resources. - A HTML injection vulnerability caused by a failure to properly sanitize HTML from email messages. - An authentication bypass vulnerability due to the free-ware version of ArGoSoft failing to carry out sufficient authentication before granting access to the user management interface. - A denial of service vulnerability in the free-ware version. An attacker can exploit this by attempting to create a new user using a name of excessive length. *** Nessus solely relied on the banner of this service to issue *** this alert. |
