Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, has been found in Atrium MERCUR IMAPD (the affected version unknown). This issue affects an unknown part of the file mcrimap4.exe of the component IMAP4. The manipulation of the argument NTLMSSP with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple integer signedness errors in the NTLM implementation in Atrium MERCUR IMAPD (mcrimap4.exe) 5.00.14, with SP4, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long NTLMSSP argument that triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

The bug was discovered 03/20/2007. The weakness was shared 03/20/2007 with mu-b (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at archives.neohapsis.com.
