VAR-200106-0149
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2026-03-09 22:53Buffer overflow in IPSwitch IMail SMTP server 6.06 and possibly prior versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long From: header. The Lotus Domino Web Server contains a flaw that could be exploited to cause a denial of service. Due to a problem parsing carriage return/line feeds in RFC822 format mail messages, The Bat! mail client may permaturely detect the end of a mail message, causing an error to occur. This error may prevent the mail user from retrieving other mail messages until the message with the error is removed. "The Bat!" is an MUA for Windows by Rit Research Labs. "The Bat!" is vulnerable to a remote denial of service attack. Email messages in which carriage return (CR) characters are not followed by a linefeed (LF) can cause "The Bat!" to incorrectly interpret the message's structure. This can lead "The Bat!" to read text in the message body as a response from the POP3 server. The current (corrupt) message will not be deleted from the server, and the mail download process will stop. As a result, the user will remain unable to receive new email messages from the affected POP3 account
