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

Description:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Symantec Mail Security products, 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 version 5.0.1 with Patch 187 and Symantec Mail Security for Domino 7.5.0.19. Other versions may also be affected.
