What is CVE-2008-1054?

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the _lib_spawn_user_getpid function within swatch.exe and surgemail.exe of NetWin SurgeMail versions 38k4 and earlier, as well as beta 39a. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to exploit the system by sending specially crafted HTTP requests containing excessively long headers to webmail.exe and potentially other CGI executables. This exploitation leads to environment variable overflow, causing the backend daemon to crash and possibly enabling the execution of arbitrary code, posing significant security risks.
