Problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
PC-cillin has an unchecked buffer in pop3trap.exe


Description:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
PC-cillin comes with a mail scanning feature that scans all incoming mail
for
viruses, this is accomplished by connecting the mail client to a local
service
listening on port 110 (pop3). This service is only listening for connections
from the local machine and acts as a proxy. The program running this service
is pop3trap.exe. Connecting to the local port 110 and sending a lot of
characters will crash the program with a direct hit on the EIP, this makes
it
possible to run malicious code. The code will be run using the privileges of
the user owning the pop3trap.exe process.

Example 1: perl -e " print \"a\"x1100" |nc 127.0.0.1 110

Example 2: http://127.0.0.1:110/[put 1100 a's here]
