Description

A buffer overflow exists in Mercury Mail. The IMAP server fails to validate input passed to the EXAMINE, SUBSCRIBE, STATUS, APPEND, CHECK, CLOSE, EXPUNGE, FETCH, RENAME, DELETE, LIST, SEARCH, CREATE, and UNSUBSCRIBE commands resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
