Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Mail Security, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to various errors within the third-party Lotus 1-2-3 file viewer and can be exploited to cause buffer overflows when a specially crafted file is checked.

For more information:
SA27849

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 with Patch 187. Other versions may also be affected.
