IMAP: Flag Buffer Overflow
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an IMAP flag that is too long. This can indicate a buffer overflow attempt.
Extended Description
IMAP messages containing overly long flag values are protocol anomalies. Receiving such a message may indicate an attack attempt. The impact depends on how a vulnerable IMAP server handles such a malformed message.
