Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2004-1520
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:ipswitch:imail

Synopsis

The remote mail server is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Ipswitch IMail that is older than version 8.14.0.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when it processes the argument of the 'delete' command. An attacker may exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to IMail 8.14 or later, as this reportedly fixes the issue.
