Detailed Description |
The CommuniGate Pro SMTP server, according to its banner, has a denial of service vulnerability in the LIST module. CommuniGate Pro is a commercial messaging server. CommuniGate Pro versions prior to 4.3c3 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused due to an unspecified error in the LIST module when handling certain multipart messages. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the affected server by sending a specially-crafted multipart message to a list.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote SMTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
