CVSS v2.0

9.0

High

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MDaemon versions 6.7.5 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the IMAP service, allowing remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved by sending a CREATE command with a long mailbox name.

Recommendations For MDaemon versions 6.7.5 and earlier, update to a version later than 6.7.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IMAP service or limiting the length of mailbox names to prevent exploitation.
