Vulnerability Scan Summary Checks for search command buffer overflow vulnerability in IA eMailServer's IMAP server
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote IMAP server is susceptible to buffer overflow attacks.
Description :
The remote host is running IA eMailServer, a commercial messaging

of 560 or more characters. An authenticated attacker could exploit
this issue to crash the service and possibly to execute arbitrary code
remotely.
Note that IA eMailServer can be configured to run as a service with
LOCAL SYSTEM rights, although this is not the default.
