Discussion
Pegasus Mail POP3 Response Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Pegasus Mail is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
Pegasus Mail 4.51 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
