CVE-2006-6761

63
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-6761 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in the IMAP daemon of Novell NetMail versions prior to 3.52e FTF2. This vulnerability allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an overly long argument to the SUBSCRIBE command. With a CVSS score of 6.5, it represents a moderate to high risk, as it can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While not listed on the KEV catalog, a Metasploit module and an ExploitDB entry confirm the existence of public exploit code, though there is no indication of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
