CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Ipswitch IMail versions 7.04 and earlier

Description: The issue affects the webmail interface, allowing remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service by providing a mailbox name with a large number of characters, potentially due to a buffer overflow that may allow execution of arbitrary code. This can be achieved through programs such as readmail.cgi or printmail.cgi.

Recommendations: For Ipswitch IMail versions 7.04 and earlier, consider restricting access to the webmail interface until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the length of mailbox names to prevent potential buffer overflows.
