Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
Multiple buffer overflows in the IMAP service (imapd32.exe) in Ipswitch IMail Server 2006 before 2006.21 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via the (1) Search or (2) Search Charset command.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

description | This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Ipswitch IMail Server 2006.1 IMAP SEARCH verb. By sending an overly long string, an attacker can overwrite the buffer and control program execution. In order for this module to be successful, the IMAP user must have at least one message. |

description | The remote host is running Ipswitch IMail, a commercial messaging and collaboration suite for Windows. According to its banner, the version of Ipswitch IMail installed on the remote host has several buffer overflows in its IMAP service component, one of which can be exploited prior to authentication to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. In addition, there is also a denial of service issue that can cause the IM Server to crash without authentication. |
