Descriptions

A vulnerability in certain attachment detection mechanisms of Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the filtering functionality of an affected system. The vulnerability is due to the improper detection of content within executable (EXE) files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a customized EXE file that is not recognized and blocked by the ESA. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to send email messages that contain malicious executable files to unsuspecting users. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvh03786.

Una vulnerabilidad en ciertos mecanismos de detección de adjuntos de Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado omita la funcionalidad de filtrado de un sistema afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a la detección incorrecta de contenido en archivos ejecutables (EXE). Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de un archivo EXE personalizado que no sea reconocido y bloqueado por ESA. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante envíe mensajes de correo electrónico que contienen archivos ejecutables maliciosos a usuarios incautos. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvh03786.
