IA eMailServer DoS (Format String)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.tnsoft.com/> IA eMailServer is "an email server that supports
SMTP, POP3 and IMAP".
Lack of proper command filtering allows attackers to stop the IA
eMailServer from running.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* IA eMailServer Corporate Edition version: 5.2.2. Build: 1051
Immune Systems:
* IA eMailServer Corporate Edition version: 5.3.4. Build: 2019
The IMAP4 LIST command is not properly filtered, and allow attackers to
place the chars %x as the second argument to the LIST command. Placing
the chars will cause the MailServer.exe to crash.
