IMAP: Invalid Literal Length

This anomaly triggers when it detects a protocol that contains a literal, which specifies a number of octets containing a character that is not 0 or 9.

Extended Description

MailEnable is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
