Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a mail security application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The file attachment filter component included with the instance of Symantec Mail Security installed on the remote Windows host is reportedly affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be triggered when handling attachments of various types.

By sending an email with a specially crafted attachment through a vulnerable server, an attacker could execute arbitrary code subject to the privileges under which the affected daemon runs.

Solution

If using Symantec Mail Security for Domino, upgrade to version 7.5.12 / 8.0.9.

If using Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange, upgrade to version 6.0.13 / 6.5.6.
