Description:
Jean-Sébastien Guay-Leroux has reported two vulnerabilities in Barracuda Spam Firewall, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the processing of LHA and ZOO archives containing files with overly long filenames. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when an e-mail with a malicious archive is scanned.

These vulnerabilities are related to:
SA11510
SA19002

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in firmware versions prior to 3.3.03.022.

Solution:
Update to firmware version 3.3.03.022.
