Multiple buffer overflows in eXtremail 2.1.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to (1) have an unknown impact by sending multiple long strings to the IMAP port (143/tcp); (2) execute arbitrary code via a long string in an IMAP AUTHENTICATE PLAIN action, involving the ifParseAuthPlain function; (3) execute arbitrary code via a long LOGIN command to the admin interface port (4501/tcp); or (4) execute arbitrary code via a long string in an IMAP AUTHENTICATE LOGIN (aka CRAM-MD5 authentication) action, involving the ifProcImapAuth1 function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-5466 is a set of remote buffer overflow flaws in eXtremail 2.1.1 and earlier. An exposed mail server could potentially be taken over through vulnerable IMAP or administrative interfaces. The sources do not provide a CVSS score, vendor fix, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running eXtremail 2.1.1 or earlier, especially where IMAP 143/tcp or admin 4501/tcp is reachable from untrusted networks. Treat this as high priority only if legacy eXtremail is present. Public exploit references and remote code execution claims justify urgent containment or retirement of exposed instances. Mitigation focus: Identify any eXtremail deployments and confirm exact version.; Remove, upgrade, or replace eXtremail 2.1.1 and earlier where possible.; Restrict IMAP access to trusted networks where business requirements allow..
