An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-1557 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1557/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1557/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1557","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1557/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1557","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5fwq-v23g-x73p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IMail IMAP server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in the IMAP login function to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"imail","vendor":"ipswitch"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Buffer overflow in the login functions in IMAP server (imapd) in Ipswitch IMail 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a long user name or (2) a long password.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-03-01","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-03-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19377","stars":null,"title":"Ipswitch IMail 5.0 - Imapd Buffer Overflow (Denial of Service) (PoC)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1557","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1558"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1556"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1255","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1256","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-23"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2795","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in the IMAP login function to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1557/"}
