Summary
Apache James vulnerable to denial of service through the use of IMAP literals
Details

Similarly to CVE-2024-34055, Apache James is vulnerable to denial of service through the abuse of IMAP literals from both authenticated and unauthenticated users, which could be used to cause unbounded memory allocation and very long computations

Version 3.7.6 and 3.8.2 restrict such illegitimate use of IMAP literals.

Severity
8.6 (High)
