McAfee WebShield SMTP 4.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 10557

Synopsis

The remote service is vulnerable to multiple issues.

Description

The remote WebShield server is subject to two flaws :

- It may let mail pass against some filter rules if the attached files names have some strange chars in them
- It is possible for an outsider to crash this program and force its reinstallation

*** Nessus did not actually test for these flaws - it just relied
*** on the banner to identify them. Therefore, this warning may be
*** a false positive

Solution

Contact the vendor for the fixed version of WebShield (later than 4.5).
