A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Ipswitch IMail 2006.1/2006.2 (Mail Server Software). Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality in the library IMailsec.dll. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple buffer overflows in Ipswitch IMail before 2006.21 allow remote attackers or authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via (1) the authentication feature in IMailsec.dll, which triggers heap corruption in the IMail Server, or (2) a long SUBSCRIBE IMAP command, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the IMAP Daemon.

The weakness was presented 01/27/2009 by Manuel Santamarina Suarez (TippingPoint) with TippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative (Website). The advisory is available at zerodayinitiative.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2007-2795 since 05/21/2007. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. A simple authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known.

A public exploit has been developed in Perl. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 25737 (Ipswitch IMail Server < 2006.21 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows and running in the context r. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 74228 (Ipswitch IMail Server/Collaboration Suite Multiple Buffer Overflows).

Upgrading to version 2006.1 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 1842. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 5224.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (35505), Tenable (25737) and Exploit-DB (9662). See 37929, 37928 and 37927 for similar entries.
