Description

My product tester is connected to a self-built email server. When verifying the email account or sending emails, a large packet is returned, causing memory overflow. Does this software verify the packet length in these two scenarios? If it is not verified, it is vulnerable to attacks.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reading the issue and linked pull request #149, then trace the code paths used when verifying an email account and sending email. Compare both paths against the reported large-packet memory overflow; done means the two scenarios have a defined packet-length or memory-safety outcome.
