If this option is selected, it is possible to impersonate the Control Center and cause the Brightmail AntiSpam service to stop responding by sending invalid posts. 2) Input passed in "DATABLOB-GET" and "DATABLOB-SAVE" requests is not properly sanitised. This can be exploited to overwrite or read some files on the system in combination with vulnerability #1. SOLUTION: Update to version 6.0.4 or upgrade to Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.0.
