Detail

The STARTTLS implementation in WatchGuard XCS 9.0 and 9.1 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.

Id Description
73251 WatchGuard XCS STARTTLS Arbitrary Plaintext Command Injection

WatchGuard XCS contains a flaw related to the TLS implementation failing to properly restrict I/O buffering and clearing transport layer buffers when changing from plaintext to ciphertext upon receipt of the 'STARTTLS' command. This may allow a remote, man-in-the-middle attacker to inject arbitrary plaintext data which will be executed upon transition to ciphertext.
