This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against TABS Mailcarrier Server. Attackers can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the running daemon. This signature will false-positive on traffic between Microsoft Exchange Servers.
Tabs Laboratories MailCarrier is affected by a remote SMTP EHLO/HELO buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to perform adequate bounds checking on network messages prior to copying them into process buffers. A remote attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on a computer running the affected software. This will facilitate unauthorized access and privilege escalation.
