Summary

Buffer overflow in the web console in F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange 6.40, and Internet Gatekeeper 6.40 through 6.42 and 6.50 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors. NOTE: By default, the connections are only allowed from the local host. Update to a fixed version or apply hotfix.

descriptionThe version of F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper and/or F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange installed on the remote host is affected by a buffer overflow condition in its web console. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. Note that the web console by default accepts connections only from the local host; therefore, this issue can be exploited remotely only if the web console has been specifically configured to accept connections remotely.
