Vulnerability CVE-2006-1173
Published: 2006-06-07   Modified: 2012-02-12

Description:
Sendmail before 8.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via deeply nested, malformed multipart MIME messages that exhaust the stack during the recursive mime8to7 function for performing 8-bit to 7-bit conversion, which prevents Sendmail from delivering queued messages and might lead to disk consumption by core dump files.

Type:

CWE-399

 (Resource Management Errors)
