The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP4 component of EasyMail Objects when processing arguments passed to the "Connect" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long (greater than 500 bytes) string passed as the host name argument to the said method. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code and requires that the user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious web site. SOLUTION: Update to version 6.5.
