This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects a text line (in the command section, before the DATA command) in an SMTP connection that is too long. This can indicate a buffer overflow attempt.
A protocol anomaly exists in malformed SMTP commands having command lines that are too long. Receiving such a message may indicate an attack attempt. The impact of the flaw depends on how an SMTP server handles such a malformed message.
