Summary

In Mailpit before version 1.30.4, the SMTP command reader allocates the full command line before enforcing the 512-octet limit. An unauthenticated remote SMTP client can send an oversized single command line, which can lead to excessive memory consumption and reduced service availability.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could be exploited for denial of service attacks, as concurrent oversized inputs can create memory pressure and reduce service availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Mailpit to version 1.30.4 or later, which includes a fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

Mailpit is an email testing tool and API for developers. Prior to 1.30.4, Mailpit reads SMTP commands through internal/smtpd/smtpd.go session.readLine() using bufio.Reader.ReadString before session.parseLine() parses the verb or the RFC 5321 512-octet command-line limit is enforced. An unauthenticated remote SMTP client can send an oversized single command line that is fully allocated before syntax rejection or timeout, and the normal MaxMessageSize and DATA limits do not apply to this pre-DATA path. The same command reader is used by handleAuthLogin(), handleAuthPlain(), and handleAuthCramMD5() continuation lines, so concurrent oversized inputs can create memory pressure and reduce service availability. This issue is fixed in version 1.30.4.
