Ipswitch IMail contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. The issue is due to the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) daemon not properly sanitizing input of LDAP messages. If an attacker supplies such a message with an overly large tag, they may be able to crash the service or execute arbitrary code.
