CVE-2007-0886
CWE-119Published: February 12, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Heap-based buffer underflow in axigen 1.2.6 through 2.0.0b1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain base64-encoded data on the pop3 port (110/tcp), which triggers an integer overflow.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-0886 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-0886. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
