Mailenable · Mailenable Professional · CVE-2005-4457
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MailEnable Enterprise versions 1.1 and prior
MailEnable Professional versions 1.71 and prior
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via several "..." (triple dot) sequences in a `UID FETCH` command. It is also caused by errors in handling arguments passed to certain IMAP commands, such as `UID FETCH`, `LIST`, and `LSUB`. This can be exploited by an authenticated user to cause a DoS via malformed arguments or to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument.
**Recommendations**
For MailEnable Enterprise version 1.1, apply patch ME-10009 to resolve the issue.
For MailEnable Enterprise versions prior to 1.1, update to version 1.1 and apply patch ME-10009.
For MailEnable Professional version 1.71 and prior, update to a version later than 1.71.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `UID FETCH`, `LIST`, and `LSUB` IMAP commands until a patch is available.
