TITLE:
SurgeMail Format String and Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29105

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29105/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SurgeMail 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/4823/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered some vulnerabilities in SurgeMail,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A format string error in the webmail.exe CGI application when
handling e.g. strings assigned to the "page" parameter can be
exploited via a specially crafted HTTP request containing format
string specifiers.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) A boundary error in "_lib_spawn_user_getpid()" within swatch.exe
and surgemail.exe can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted HTTP request containing e.g.
multiple overly long headers.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 38k4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the affected services.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
