Description:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Symantec Mail Security for Exchange, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to various errors within the third-party Folio Flat File reader (foliosr.dll) and Applix Graphics reader (kpagrdr.dll) and can be exploited to cause buffer overflows when a specially crafted file is
checked.

For more information:
SA28209

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

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Symantec Mail Security for Exchange 5.0.7.373. Other versions may also be affected.
