"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.
