DESCRIPTION:
hempel has discovered a vulnerability in the AXIGEN Mail Server,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) or to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the
AXIMilter module when parsing mail data. This can be exploited by
sending specially crafted data containing format string specifiers to
the TCP port on which AXIMilter is listening.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.0.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Use AXIMilter in trusted environments only.
