Affected
1st Up Mail Server v4.1

Following is based on a USSR Advisory USSR-2000058. The Ussr Team
has recently discovered a Buffer Overflow in 1st Up Mail Server
v4.1 where they do not use proper bounds checking. The overflow
is in the field "mail from: <", a large number of aaaaaa's ">
(over 300). It then displays this message:
"Application popup: smtp server: smtp server.exe - Application Error
: The instruction at "0x00402f23" referenced memory at "0x61616161".
The memory could not be "read".

This results in a Denial of Service against the service in
question.
