Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SmarterMail versions 1.6.1511 through 1.6.1529

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, by establishing a large number of simultaneous open connections to the SMTP service on TCP port 25.

Recommendations For versions 1.6.1511 through 1.6.1529, consider restricting access to the SMTP service on TCP port 25 to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limit the number of simultaneous connections to the SMTP service until a patch is available.
