7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

SMTP content filter engines, including (1) GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP before 7.2, (2) InterScan VirusWall before 3.52 build 1494, (3) the default configuration of MIMEDefang before 2.21, and possibly other products, do not detect fragmented emails as defined in RFC2046 ("Message Fragmentation and Reassembly") and supported in such products as Outlook Express, which allows remote attackers to bypass content filtering, including virus checking, via fragmented emails of the message/partial content type.

Affected configurations

• gfi mailsecurity 7.2 • network associates webshield smtp 4.0.5 • network associates webshield smtp 4.5 • network associates webshield smtp 4.5.44 • network associates webshield smtp 4.5.74.0 • roaring penguin canit 1.2 • roaring penguin mimedefang 2.14 • roaring penguin mimedefang 2.20 • trend micro interscan viruswall 3.5 • trend micro interscan viruswall 3.51 • trend micro interscan viruswall 3.52
