APP: MDaemon Form2Raw Message Handler Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the Mdaemon mail server suite. Attackers can send an overly long "from" field in a malicious request to the form2raw script, triggering a buffer overflow and enabling the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target host.
Extended Description
It has been reported that MDaemon/WorldClient mail server may be prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when handling certain messages with a 'From' field of over 249 bytes. This issue may allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to a system. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable software in order to gain unauthorized access.
