COMMAND

    MDaemon

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    MDaemon 2.7 J

PROBLEM

    Nobuo Miwa reported following.   He reported a simple DoS  problem
    in MDaemon 2.7 Japanese.  It's a simple game... too much connect()
    then that could be dead after about 314th connect()s.  MDaemon.exe
    will stop by Access Violation.  It can have only few sockets array
    less than arround 300.

SOLUTION

    MDaemon can  be configured  to allow  secure MDConfig  connections
    which will prevent this problem from ever occurring.  This can  be
    done now, however the 11/30/99 full patch will contain  additional
    coding to prevent such a  problem from occuring in the  event that
    the  system  admin  has  left  the  port  wide  open for anyone to
    exploit.
