STARTTLS Implementation Vulnerability in Kerio Connect and MailServer

CVE-2011-1506 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The STARTTLS implementation in Kerio Connect 7.1.4 build 2985 and MailServer 6.x does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.
