MailEnable SMTP Connector Multiple NTLM Authentication Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 22483

Synopsis

The remote SMTP server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running MailEnable, a commercial mail server for Windows.

The version of MailEnable Professional or MailEnable Enterprise installed on the remote host has several problems involving its support of NTLM authentication. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can leverage these flaws to execute arbitrary code on the remote host or crash the SMTP connector.

Note that NTLM authentication is not enabled in MailEnable by default but is on the remote host.

Solution

Apply the ME-10015 hotfix referenced in the vendor link above.
