Mercury Mail up to 4.01
Buffer Overflow
The remote host is running Mercury Mail server, an IMAP server for Windows operating systems. It is reported that versions up to and including 4.01 are prone to stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities. An authenticated attacker may execute arbitrary code on the remote server. The attacker needs to authenticate in order to exploit these vulnerabilities against the IMAP server.
