MailCarrier 2.51 – SEH Remote Buffer Overflow in “TOP” command(POP3)
This exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted "TOP" command to a vulnerable MailCarrier server. The vulnerability occurs due to a buffer overflow in the handling of the command, allowing an attacker to overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and gain control of the program's execution flow. This exploit has been tested on MailCarrier version 2.51 running on Windows XP Professional SP3 (x86).
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the latest patches and updates for MailCarrier. Additionally, restricting access to the affected server and implementing strong firewall rules can help prevent exploitation. Regular security audits and monitoring can also help detect and respond to any potential attacks.
