Descriptions

functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5, does not properly handle 8-bit characters in passwords, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by making many IMAP login attempts with different usernames, leading to the creation of many preference files. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2010-2813.

functions/imap_general.php en SquirrelMail, tal y como se usa ??en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v4 y v5 no trata correctamente los caracteres de 8 bits en las contraseñas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (por excesivo consumo de disco) haciendo muchos intentos de acceso IMAP con diferentes nombres de usuario, lo que lleva a la creación de muchos archivos de preferencias. NOTA: este problema existe debido a una reparación incorrecta al CVE-2010-2813.
