TITLE:
EasyMail Objects IMAP4 Component "Connect" Buffer Overflow
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24199
VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/24199/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
EasyMail Objects 6.x
https://secunia.com/product/13496/
DESCRIPTION:
Paul Graig has reported a vulnerability in EasyMail Objects, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP4
component of EasyMail Objects when processing arguments passed to the
"Connect" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via an overly long (greater than 500 bytes) string passed as
the host name argument to the said method.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code and
requires that the user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious web
site.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.5.
