Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NetWin Surgemail versions 3.8k4-4 and earlier

Description The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the IMAP service, allowing remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. This is achieved by providing a long first argument to the LIST command.

Recommendations For versions 3.8k4-4 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.8k4-4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IMAP service until a patch is available. Avoid using long arguments with the LIST command in the affected IMAP service to minimize the risk of exploitation.
