Internet Bug Bounty: Exim handles BDAT data incorrectly and leads to crash/hang

Original article is here Incorrect BDAT data handling leads to DoS Vulnerability Analysis When receiving data with BDAT command, SMTP server should not consider a single dot ‘.’ in a line to be the end of message. However, we found exim does in receivemsg when parsing header. Like the following...

Internet Bug Bounty: Exim use-after-free vulnerability while reading mail header involving BDAT commands

Original article is here Use-after-free in receivemsg leads to RCE Vulnerability Analysis To explain this bug, we need to start with the memory management of exim. There is a series of functions starts with store such as storeget, storerelease, storereset. These functions are used to manage...
