Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Brightmail, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) The Sieve module fails to recognise malformed RFC 822 MIME attachment boundaries. Processing several attachments with malformed boundaries causes the bmserver to consume large amounts of memory, which can be exploited to consume all available memory and crash the service.
2) Spamhunter fails to convert certain valid character encoding sets to UTF. Reportedly, this causes the engine to crash and core dump.
Brightmail AntiSpam 6.0.1 has been reported vulnerable.
