LDAP: Imail Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Imail LDAP service. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Extended Description
The Ipswitch LDAP daemon has been reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability exists due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on user supplied LDAP tags. When attacker-supplied data containing large LDAP tags is processed by the affected service, a stack based buffer overflow condition will be triggered. A remote attacker may exploit this condition to execute arbitrary instructions in the security context of the affected service.
