Title: Trend Micro InterScan VirusWall Sircam Virus Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Trend Micro InterScan VirusWall is vulnerable to allowing certain email attachments infected with the TROJ_SIRCAM.A virus through to a user's mailbox.

Messages with an electronic mail format (.eml) attachments are not scanned by VirusWall. This is because VirusWall cannot decode Base64 encoded attachments involving non-standard RFC defined characters or are otherwise malformed.

This vulnerability may allow for attackers to pass viruses undetected through VirusWall to target recipients by concealing them in .eml attachments.

Affected Products:

  • Trend Micro InterScan VirusWall for Windows NT 3.51.0
