Summary

Progressive Robot hMailServer from 6.0.0 before 6.3.4 on Windows contains a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in its legacy Blowfish decryption routine. The routine copies hexadecimal input of any length into a fixed 255-byte buffer, so a local interactive user with no hMailServer credentials can write past the end of that buffer. The result is a denial of service through a service crash, and possibly code execution with the privileges of the service account.

Description from the CNA

Heap-based buffer overflow in the legacy Blowfish decryption routine (BlowFishEncryptor::DecryptFromString) in Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.3 on Windows allows a local interactive user with no hMailServer credentials to write bytes of their choosing past the end of a 255-byte heap buffer in the hMailServer service process, which runs as LocalSystem by default. The user does this by passing a long hexadecimal string to the COM method Utilities.BlowfishDecrypt, which checked no authentication. The routine converted hexadecimal input of any length into a fixed 255-byte buffer before decrypting it in place. The result is a denial of service (service crash), and possibly code execution with the privileges of the service account.
