This host has libESMTP installed and is prone to multiple
vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities Insight:
Multiple flaws are due to:

  • An error in ‘match_component()’ function in ‘smtp-tls.c’ when processing
    substrings. It treats two strings as equal if one is a substring of the
    other, which allows attackers to spoof trusted certificates via a crafted
    subjectAltName.
  • An error in handling of ‘X.509 certificate’. It does not properly
    handle a ‘&qt?&qt’ character in a domain name in the ‘subject&qts Common Name’
    field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to
    spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate.
