    1] Multiple DOS vulnerabilities with Kerio Mail Server services
    
        - By sending multiple "SYN" packet to every services of the mail
    server (POP3, SMTP, IMAP, Secure IMAP, POP3S, Web-mail, Secure

    responding and the service will be up again after several mins. This
    vulnerability consumes all resources of the system that forces the
    service to stop responding.

    Workaround:
    
    1] Filter All Services and only allow trusted source inside the
    network ;] (Disable all services outside the network *nodz*)
    
    2] Cross-site scripting vulnerability workaround
