It's an overflow in the _vsnprintf() function. As far as I've read, this 
makes your options quite limited. You can only write to data pointers passed 
to you through the va_args list of the function. As far as I've seen when 
messing with this vulnerability, there are no potentials for overwrites. I 
see no function pointers, only text data. Just attach a debugger to 
ipswitch, and send MAIL FROM: %n%n%n%n%n%n@...n%n%n%n.com to cause a fault 
in the debugger.

Can iDEFENSE (or anyone else) elaborate on this? I have been working with
this for a little while and iMail doesn't seem to be exploitable in this 
way.

TIA.
