TITLE:
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Attachment Parsing Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29342

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29342/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/13591/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Symantec Mail
Security for SMTP, 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 version
5.0.1 with Patch 187. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.0.1 with Patch 189.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
