What?s FTGate4:
--------------
[description taken from from the author's site]

FTGate4 is a powerful Windows(TM) communication suite that combines
exceptional mail handling facilities with comprehensive Groupware
functionality. Its security and collaboration features were
developed in conjunction with leading ISP's and define a new era in
mail server performance.

Synopsis:
--------

FTGate4 is vulnerable to a buffer overrun which could potentially
lead to execution of arbitrary code.

Description:
-----------

FTGate4 contains a security flaw in the IMAP server caused due to
boundary errors in the handling of various commands (like EXAMINE).

Impact:
------

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a malformed
request to the IMAP server running on port 143, resulting in a
Denial of Service condition and potentially arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the SYSTEM user.

Workaround:
----------

There is no known workaround at this time.
