Microsoft

-- Affected Products:

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows attackers to deny services on vulnerable
installations of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Authentication is
required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within store.exe during the handling of a
particular MAPI call. The service will enter a loop whose termination is
controlled by an attacker. If the attacker specifies an invalid value,
the loop will never terminate causing the service to stop responding to
requests. This results in a denial of service against the target server.

-- Vendor Response:
Microsoft has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
details can be found at:
