This issue arises when the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) daemon fails to properly handle long "MAIL FROM" commands during email delivery. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted "MAIL FROM" command to induce a buffer overflow, resulting in the server executing malicious code. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to a compromise of the entire system.
