VAR-200606-0512

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:24

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. F-Secure Anti-Virus is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

Want to join the Secunia Security Team?

Secunia offers a position as a security specialist, where your daily work involves reverse engineering of software and exploit code, auditing of source code, and analysis of vulnerability reports.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified boundary error within the web console prior to authentication and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation crashes the web console process and may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code. The criticality of the vulnerability therefore depends on how the web console has been configured to accept connections.

SOLUTION: Update to a fixed version or apply hotfix.

-- F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange --

Apply hotfix for version 6.40: ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/support/hotfix/fsav-mse/fsavmse640-05.zip

-- F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper --

Update to version 6.60 or apply hotfix (for version 6.50): ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/support/hotfix/fsig/fsigk650-01.zip

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
