Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the IMAP module (MEIMAPS.EXE) in MailEnable Professional 1.6 through 1.82 and 2.0 through 2.33, and MailEnable Enterprise 1.1 through 1.30 and 2.0 through 2.33 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) EXAMINE or (2) SELECT command.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-6290 is a historical MailEnable IMAP server flaw. An authenticated remote user could send overly long IMAP command arguments that crash the service or possibly run code. Business urgency is highest for organizations still running the listed legacy MailEnable Professional or Enterprise versions with IMAP reachable by users. Exposure is likely limited to legacy MailEnable Professional or Enterprise deployments that still run the affected IMAP module and allow authenticated IMAP access. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, asset prevalence, or current support status. Prioritize this if legacy MailEnable IMAP is still in production. The combination of remote authenticated access, service crash, and possible code execution creates meaningful business risk, but urgency depends on whether affected versions remain deployed. Mitigation focus: Inventory MailEnable Professional and Enterprise versions against the affected ranges.; Check MailEnable hotfix and vendor guidance for the appropriate remediation.; Restrict IMAP access to trusted networks where business requirements allow..
