Attached is a remote exploit (disarmed PoC) for Mercury/32 4.01b IMAPD.
The vulnerability is located in the call:-
034646AE call sub_346ECD9
which is passes (as third argument) the number of bytes remaining in a
stack buffer in order to construct the complete command from the
continuation data. However the calculation neglects to take into account
the length of the previously supplied command ("1 LOGIN <900 x '\x20'> {255}").

The result of the attached exploit is a DoS (given below), however, remote code
execution is possible in at least two different ways without authentication…

(b24.a70): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
