Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper and F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error within the exception handling in the F-Secure Content Scanner Server component. This can be exploited to crash a process ("fsavsd.exe") in the component via specially crafted packets.
NOTE: The process is reportedly started automatically within 30 to 40 seconds by a watchdog service.
