Attached is a remote exploit (disarmed PoC) for Mercury/32 4.01b IMAPD. The vulnerability is located in the call:- 034646AE call sub_346ECD9 which is passes (as third argument) the number of bytes remaining in a stack buffer in order to construct the complete command from the continuation data. However the calculation neglects to take into account the length of the previously supplied command ("1 LOGIN <900 x 'x20'> {255}"). The result of the attached exploit is a DoS (given below), however, remote code execution is possible in at least two different ways without authentication... (b24.a70): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling. This exception may be expected and handled. eax=0456d70c ebx=41414141 ecx=7ffad000 edx=034a2970 esi=00000500 edi=00000000 eip=00441d88 esp=0456d6dc ebp=0456d6ec iopl=0 nv up ei pl zr na pe nc cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00010246 mercuryi!miconfig_proc_3+0xbacd: 0346ed48 8807 mov byte ptr [edi],al ds:0023:04570000=??
