Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SurgeMail version 38k4

Description The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the webmail feature, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash. This can be achieved by sending a long Host header.

Recommendations For SurgeMail version 38k4, consider restricting access to the webmail feature until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, limiting the length of the Host header may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
