CVE-2011-1432: Command Injection
First published: Wed Mar 16 2011(Updated: )
The STARTTLS implementation in SCO SCOoffice Server does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.
