Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft CDO is susceptible to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the library to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

This issue presents itself when an attacker sends a specifically crafted email message to an email server utilizing the affected library.

This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the application utilizing the library.

The issue may be triggered by crafting an email with an overly long header name, for example:
