Vulnerability CVE-2011-2165
Published: 2011-05-23   Modified: 2012-02-13

Description:
The STARTTLS implementation in WatchGuard XCS 9.0 and 9.1 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.
