  NetWin CWMail.exe Buffer Overflow (item=)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.netwinsite.com/> CWMail is a fully featured Corporate Web
Mail System for institutions or ISP's using the web as their primary means
of access to email. CWMail is available for a wide variety of platforms
and allows all email processing to be handled via a client web browser
rather than from an email client package. A security vulnerability in the
product allows gaining of arbitrary privileges by overflowing an internal
buffer.

DETAILS

CWMail.exe is the main executable that provides the program's
functionality on the Windows platforms. This would typically be located
in either the 'cgi-bin' or 'scripts' directory of an IIS server. After a
successful logon, by selecting the forward (mail) option, and filling the
parameter 'item=' with a large string of characters, an access violation
occurs, overwriting the saved return address and allowing the remote
execution of arbitrary code.

Fix information:
NGSSoftware alerted NetWin to these problems on February 10, NetWin
responded extremely quickly with a patch. This patch has been available
from 12 February, and can be downloaded from
