Stack overflow in the IMAP module (MEIMAPS.EXE) in MailEnable Professional 1.6 through 1.83 and 2.0 through 2.33, and MailEnable Enterprise 1.1 through 1.40 and 2.0 through 2.33, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long argument containing * (asterisk) and ?

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can let a logged-in IMAP user crash vulnerable MailEnable mail servers. The main business impact is mail service disruption, not confirmed data theft or system takeover. The sources say MailEnable addressed it with the ME-10020 hotfix. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running the listed MailEnable Professional or Enterprise 1.x/2.x versions with IMAP enabled and reachable by authenticated users. Treat as a service-availability risk for legacy MailEnable deployments. Prioritize remediation if the affected server supports business-critical email or has broadly reachable IMAP access. Mitigation focus: Apply MailEnable ME-10020 hotfix or current vendor-recommended fix.; Retire vulnerable MailEnable Professional and Enterprise versions listed in the CVE description.; Restrict IMAP access to trusted networks or VPN where operationally feasible..
