Remote Buffer overflow Vulnerability in YPOPs!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/> YPOPs! is an application that
provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail. It is available on the Windows,
Linux, Solaris and Mac platforms."
Both POP3 and SMTP services have buffer overflow vulnerabilities. The
Remote Attacker can send specific Request to these services to cause a
Stack based buffer overflow which could allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code or just simply crash the service on a vulnerable system.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* YahooPOPS version 0.4 up to v0.6
A YahooPOPS 0.x uses the Local SMTP and POP3 engines to send and receive
emails. SMTP service is not Enabled By default. Users can enable SMTP by
Software Options.
A POP3 USER request with more than 180 bytes will corrupt the heap. POP3
request (Dos Attack):
Telnet localhost 110
+OK POP3 YahooPOPs! Proxy ready
[USER][180xA][BBBB]
As a result the EAX and ECX will be overwritten.
SMTP request:
Sending a request with more than 504 bytes will overwrite the ESP and
cause a stack based overflow.
Telnet localhost 25
220 YahooPOPs! Simple Mail Transfer Service Ready
[504xA] [BBBB]
As a result the EIP registers will be overwritten.
Proof of Concept Code:

#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#pragma comment(lib,"wsock32.lib")

/*- harmless code (tnx to snooq) , will open notepad on the remote
machine */
