TITLE:
Symantec Mail Security Attachment Parsing Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27763

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27763/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/6650/
Symantec Mail Security for Domino 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/16341/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Symantec Mail
Security for Domino and 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 setup for scanning the contents of
messages.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Symantec Mail Security for
Domino 7.5.0.19 and Symantec Mail Security for Exchange 5.0.7.373.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Disable scanning of message content.
