Kerio MailServer IMAP Server Crafted LOGIN Command DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 21050

Language:

Synopsis

The remote IMAP server is prone to denial of service attacks.

Description

The remote host is running Kerio MailServer, a commercial mail server available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.

The installed version of Kerio MailServer terminates abnormally when it receives certain malformed IMAP LOGIN commands. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to deny access to legitimate users.

Note that the application may not terminate immediately but only after an administrator acknowledges a console message.

Solution

Upgrade to Kerio MailServer 6.1.3 Patch 1 or later.
