Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Novell's NetMail 3.52 IMAP AUTHENTICATE
GSSAPI command. By sending an overly long string, an attacker can overwrite the
buffer and control program execution. Using the PAYLOAD of windows/shell_bind_tcp
or windows/shell_reverse_tcp allows for the most reliable results.
