Mercury/32 IMAPD SEARCH Command Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Mercury/32 is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

To exploit this issue, attackers must have authenticated access to the affected application.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code within the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service vulnerability.

This issue affects Mercury/32 4.52; other versions may also be affected.
