3.3/4.0/4.2 MERCUR MailServer - Control-Service Buffer Overflow
// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5261/info
// MERCUR Mailserver is prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow condition. The condition is due to insufficient bounds checking in the Control-Service component, which listens on TCP port 32000 by default. It is possible to corrupt process memory by supplying an overly long username/password. Attackers may exploit this condition to execute arbitrary instructions with the privileges of the mailserver.
