Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Symantec Mail Security for SMTP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to various errors within certain third-party file viewers and can be exploited to cause buffer overflows when a specially crafted file is checked.

The vulnerabilities are related to:
SA27304

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that e.g. a policy is setup for scanning the contents of messages.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Symantec Mail Security for SMTP version 5.0.1 without Patch 181 and 182. Prior versions and other products may also be affected.
