CVE-1999-1532

Summary

CVE-1999-1532 is a vulnerability affecting Netscape Messaging Server versions 3.54, 3.55, and 3.6. An attacker can trigger a denial-of-service condition by sending a series of long RCPT TO commands. This results in memory exhaustion on the server, making it unresponsive to legitimate traffic. This issue can potentially disrupt email services and cause significant inconvenience or downtime for affected organizations. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended that affected servers be upgraded to a patched version or configured to limit the size of RCPT TO commands.
