Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in the W3C logging functionality of the MailEnable IMAPD service. Logging is not enabled by default and this exploit requires a valid username and password to exploit the flaw. MailEnable Professional version 1.6 and prior and MailEnable Enterprise version 1.1 and prior are affected.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/imap/mailenable_w3c_select
msf exploit(mailenable_w3c_select) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(mailenable_w3c_select) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(mailenable_w3c_select) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(mailenable_w3c_select) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
