CVE-2001-0039
IPSwitch IMail 6.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service using the SMTP AUTH command by sending a base64-encoded user password whose length is between 80 and 136 bytes.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
