Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] imail, meltdown


Messagehttp://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Advisories/AD20000817.html, still
works, why?

Was fixed.. and I thought that was for version 6.x anyway... if you are sure
you're haveing the same problem them reapply the patches.

I myself know of about 15 exploits for imail, and have insulated myself, by
locking down all but a few selected tcp, udp ports.

good.... lockdown at the border router.. ipsec.. etc..

smtp relay is closed, smtp is disabled at both the imail AND winnt services
level. now why does it restart everytime the crashimail (seen above) exploit
is used on me? why is it the only way to disable smtp in imail is by
stopping all the services and renaming it? After I figured the deletion of
smtp would hinder my ability to actually use the server i would need to
reactivate it.

I'm guessing that windows is restarting the system automatically when all
the resources are exhausted.. rather than just bsod and shutdown..

mind you my spool directory was now 2 gb and nearly 500k files... have you
ever tried to delete that many files in Win2k? you can't, you can't delete
the directory, you need to del *.* and wait 12, yes TWELVE HOURS to clean it
up. isplcln dies after 2 minutes in that directory. (dual xeon 2ghz, 4gb
ram)

You could always use the RD command at a dos prompt ie: RD C:\IMAIL\SPOOL /S
but that will wipe out your other directories/files below SPOOL too.  Could
backup the other folders and reinsert them after you recreate the SPOOL
directory/folder though.

imail 7.14 logs: (mind you none of those ports are live) this is today, i
have the ONLY account on the box that is active, so why the long logfiles?

This looks like you are a relay.. visit:
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20021108-DM01.htm I don't believe the
hackers have figured out how to post data to web messaging, yet, but
anything is possible.

I haven't confirmed via telnet to your server.. but the class 'c' you use
has you listed in spews anyway.  Also you should accept <> null senders..
