Web          : http://advisories.echo.or.id/adv/adv30-theday-2006.txt
Critical Lvl : High
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Application : BL4's SMTP server
version     : < 0.1.5
URL         : http://bl4qkubartnndfhr.emmeya.com/prog/smtp?0
Description :

BL4's SMTP server is an inbound only SMTP server.
It currently uses hardcoded values for handling email. 
The SMTP server puts the incoming email into various text files.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BL4's SMTP server is to a flaw that can allow remote attacker to
cause a denial of service or a attacker can Execution of Arbitrary Code.
The vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow in the SMTP service. 
A remote attacker can repeatedly send more that 2100 bytes as the argument to the HELO, MAIL FROM, and RCPT TO commands to crash the server.
