According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of the SurgeMail Mail Server older than 3.9g2. The IMAP service in such versions is reportedly affected by remote denial of service vulnerabilities when handling an APPEND command with a large parameter. An authenticated attacker can leverage this issue to crash the remote application.
