Ipswitch IMail Server GetIMailHostEntry Memory Corruption Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
A vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable
installations of Ipswitch IMail and ICS server. Authentication is not
required to exploit this vulnerability.
DETAILS

users. The affected component is used by multiple services that listen on
a default installation. The authentication mechanism copies user-supplied

unbounded copy operation can cause a memory corruption resulting in an
exploitable condition.
