The webmail interface for Ipswitch IMail 7.04 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a mailbox name that contains a large number of . (dot) or other characters to programs such as (1) readmail.cgi or (2) printmail.cgi, possibly due to a buffer overflow that may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2001-1283 affects the webmail interface in Ipswitch IMail 7.04 and earlier. An authenticated remote user may crash the service using an unusually long mailbox name containing many dot or other characters. The CVE also notes possible arbitrary code execution, but the source bundle does not confirm exploitability or a fix. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Ipswitch IMail 7.04 or earlier with the webmail interface enabled. The attacker is described as remote but authenticated, so account access is required before abuse. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk. Prioritize if IMail 7.04 or earlier is still internet-accessible, because the confirmed impact is service disruption and the CVE raises, but does not prove, code execution risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory for Ipswitch IMail 7.04 or earlier webmail deployments.; Consult Ipswitch IMail guidance for supported fixes or replacement options.; Retire unsupported IMail 7.04 or earlier where feasible..
