Message-ID: <469E8147.9010002@idefense.com> Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 17:08:23 -0400 From: iDefense Labs <labs-no-reply@...fense.com> To: vulnwatch@...nwatch.org, full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk, bugtraq@...urityfocus.com Subject: iDefense Security Advisory 07.18.07: Ipswitch IMail Server 2006 IMAP Search Command Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Ipswitch IMail Server 2006 Multiple IMAP Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities iDefense Security Advisory 07.18.07 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Jul 18, 2007 I. BACKGROUND Ipswitch Inc.'s IMail Server is an e-mail server aimed at providing easily configured and maintained e-mail services for small organizations. More information is available on the vendor's site at the following URL. http://ipswitch.com/products/imail/index.asp II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Ipswitch Inc.'s IMail Server 2006 could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. IMail includes an IMAP daemon that users can use to access their email. The "Search" IMAP command contains an exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. Additionally, the "Search charset" contains an exploitable heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. III. ANALYSIS Exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. In order to exploit these issues, an attacker would need to login to a vulnerable IMail IMAP Server using valid credentials. The vulnerable component is installed with any IPSwitch product that includes the IMail Server. This includes products such as its Collaboration Suite packages. IV. DETECTION iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in IMail Server 2006. The vulnerable executable used was version 6.8.8.1 of imapd32.exe. V. WORKAROUND Disabling the IMAP service prevents exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Consider enabling POP3 or webmail as an alternative to IMAP. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Ipswitch Inc. has released version 2006.21 of its IMail product to address these vulnerabilities. More information can be found at the following URL. http://docs.ipswitch.com/IMail%202006.21/ReleaseNotes/IMail_RelNotes.htm#NewRelease VII. CVE INFORMATION A Mitre Corp. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) number has not been assigned yet. VIII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE 02/13/2007 Initial vendor notification 07/17/2007 Initial vendor response 07/18/2007 Coordinated public disclosure IX.
