Title: PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange RTF Multiple Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange is an email scanning and filtering product for Microsoft Exchange.

PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange is prone to multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly process certain messages.

The following denial-of-service vulnerabilities are present:

1. Sophos PureMessage Scanner service ('PMScanner.exe') may crash when processing certain PDF and rich text (RTF) files.

2. The process 'EdgeTransport.exe' may crash when PureMessage modifies the RTF content of TNEF-encoded messages.

An attacker may exploit these issues to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users.

PureMessage 3.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0
