Summary
CVE-1999-0925 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting UnityMail. An attacker can cause the service to crash or become unresponsive by sending emails with an excessive number of MIME headers. The vulnerability lies in UnityMail's handling of MIME headers, which fails to validate or limit their size, leading to a memory exhaustion issue. This can result in a denial-of-service condition, making the email server unavailable to legitimate users until it is restarted.
