Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Ipswitch IMail 8.0.3/8.0.5 (Mail Server Software) and classified as very critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown processing of the file ildap.exe of the component LDAP Daemon. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) daemon (iLDAP.exe 3.9.15.10) in Ipswitch IMail Server 8.03 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via an LDAP message with a large tag length.

The bug was discovered 10/31/2003. The weakness was released 02/17/2004 by iDefense Labs with iDEFENSE Labs as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2004-0297. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details and also a public exploit are known. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/15/2024).

A public exploit has been developed in ANSI C and been published before and not just after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at packetstormsecurity.nl. It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 109 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 2674.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (15243), Exploit-DB (157), SecurityFocus (BID 9682†), OSVDB (3984†) and Secunia (SA10880†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
