Stack-based Buffer Overflow in IceWarp Merak Mail Server

CVE-2009-1516

What is CVE-2009-1516?

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the IceWarp Merak Mail Server due to improper handling of input within the IceWarpServer.APIObject ActiveX control in api.dll. This vulnerability can be exploited when an attacker supplies a large value as the second argument to the Base64FileEncode method, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Care should be taken when processing untrusted input, as this may lead to unauthorized access or system compromise.
