Buffer Overflow in MailMax POP3 Daemon

MailMax is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks against its POP3 daemon, popmax. The vulnerability occurs due to improper bounds checking of the 'USER' argument. An attacker can cause a buffer overflow condition by submitting an overly large value for the 'USER' argument, causing popmax to crash and execute attacker-supplied code.

Mitigation:

Apply the vendor's patch or update to a non-vulnerable version of MailMax.

Reportedly, MailMax is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks against its POP3 daemon, popmax. The vulnerability occurs due to improper bounds checking of the 'USER' argument.

It is possible for an attacker to cause the buffer overflow condition in popmax by submitting an overly large value for the 'USER' argument. This will cause popmax to crash and execute attacker supplied code.

	an overflow is present in the USER argument of

	the pop3max daemon.. however, we do not get eip..

	but with buffers of various sizes we can get

	eax, ecx, and edx.. edx being the most useful as

	shown below..

	

	CALL [EDX+0C] @RVA413A08



	so now we just need to drop the rva of our shell

	that we'd like to call into memory somewhere 

	(-0C of course)..see CALL



	YAY!@$!
