Description

 E-Post contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when an attacker sends an APPEND command to the IMAP service and terminates the connection without sending the expected amount of data. This causes the server to go into an infinite loop, consuming a large amount of CPU resources, resulting in a loss of availability for the service.
