Description

The MDaemon mail server contains a flaw in a CGI application called 'Form2Raw.exe'. This CGI is used to send raw email messages through the HTTP protocol. A stack overflow condition can be triggered in this application by sending a request which contains a From parameter of more than 153 bytes. This overflow can be exploited remote by an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the MDaemon service (normally LocalSystem).

Classification

Attack Type: Input Manipulation

Technical

The MDaemon mail server features a web service which listens on TCP port 3000.

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
Remove the following two lines from the configuration file located at \MDaemon\WorldClient\WorldClient.ini:

CgiBase2=/Form2Raw.cgi
CgiFile2=C:\MDaemon\CGI\Form2Raw.exe

MDaemon must be restarted to activate these changes.
