Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Fortinet FortiMail installed on the remote host is prior to 4.3.7 / 5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to improper handling of fragmented IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can exploit this to crash the kernel, resulting in rebooting the device.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiMail version 4.3.7 / 5.0.2.
