Mike,

There's a similar bug under NT 4.0 that was disclosed as a DoS only, but
actullay it's exploitable. Maybe it's the same case on your linux box.

Asunto: Buffer overflow on Lotus Notes' POP3 service


I ran Nessus 1.0.7a against a Linux box running Lotus Notes 5.0.6a
The POP3 service crashed (SIGSEGV) and the server said it freezed all
its threads (nice DoS).

Apparently, Nessus sent:
USER test
PASS xxxxxxx[snip]

I did not find this bug in the archives. I did not check if it could be
exploited or if other systems/versions are vulnerable.
