Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Novell NetMail prior to 3.52e FTF2. (1) The IMAP server (IMAPD/imapd.exe) is vulnerable to a heap-based overflow when an attacker appends literals to certain IMAP verbs while specifying command continuation requests. (2) The Network Messaging Application Protocol (NMAP) daemon is vulnerable to a stack-based overflow via crafted arguments to the STOR command. Both issues can be triggered remotely and may lead to arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell NetMail 3.52's NMAP STOR verb (CVE-2006-6424). The exploit connects to the target's NMAP service on TCP port 689, sends a crafted 'USER' command, and then delivers an overly long 'STOR' command to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and can be up to 500 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters. The exploit is operational and targets Windows 2000 Pro SP4 English systems running the vulnerable NetMail service. The code is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit module structure.
