Last modified
CVE-2021-40110 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In Apache James, using Jazzer fuzzer, we identified that an IMAP user can craft IMAP LIST commands to orchestrate a Denial Of Service using a vulnerable Regular expression. This affected Apache James prior to 3.6.1 We recommend upgrading to Apache James 3.6.1 or higher , which enforce the use of RE2J regular expression engine to execute regex in linear time without back-tracking.. EPSS estimates a 2.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
