Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description The LDAP protocol elements are encoded for exchange using ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules (BER). Buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the LDAP component of IPSwitch's IMail server. The vulnerable LDAP daemon does not properly validate the content of an LDAP message. The vulnerability allows both DoS (Denial of Service) and remote code execution attacks. The vulnerable server is not able to handle the length value supplied by the attacker. In case of an attack where code injection is not successful, the process will be shut down abnormally. In case of an attack where code injection is successful, the behavior of the process is dependent on the intended function of the injected code. Any code executed would run in the security context of the current process.
