Descriptions

Javamail does not properly handle a series of invalid login attempts in which the same e-mail address is entered as username and password, and the domain portion of this address yields a Java UnknownHostException error, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection pool exhaustion) via a large number of requests, resulting in a SQLNestedException. NOTE: Sun disputes this issue, stating "The report makes references to source code and files that do not exist in the mentioned products.

** EN DISPUTA ** Javamail no maneja adecuadamente una serie de intentos de inicio de sesión inválidos en los que se ingresa la misma dirección de correo electrónico como nombre de usuario y contraseña, y la porción de dominio de esta dirección produce un error Java UnknownHostException, que permite que los atacantes remotos causen una denegación de servicio (agotamiento del grupo de conexiones) a través de una gran cantidad de solicitudes, lo que resulta en una excepción SQLNestedException. NOTA: Sun niega este problema y afirma que "El informe hace referencia al código fuente y los archivos que no existen en los productos mencionados".
