VAR-202201-0205

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 12:55

In Apache James, while fuzzing with Jazzer the IMAP parsing stack, we discover that crafted APPEND and STATUS IMAP command could be used to trigger infinite loops resulting in expensive CPU computations and OutOfMemory exceptions. This can be used for a Denial Of Service attack. The IMAP user needs to be authenticated to exploit this vulnerability. This affected Apache James prior to version 3.6.1. This vulnerability had been patched in Apache James 3.6.1 and higher. We recommend the upgrade. Apache James Exists in an infinite loop vulnerability.Service operation interruption (DoS) It may be in a state. Apache James is an open source Smtp and Pop3 mail transfer agent and Nntp news server written entirely in Java by the Apache Foundation
