Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GFI MailSecurity version 8.1
Description
The issue is a buffer overflow in the HTTP management interface, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long headers such as
Host and Accept in HTTP requests. It is noted that the vendor suggests this issue may be in an underlying Microsoft technology, potentially affecting other products as well.Recommendations
For GFI MailSecurity version 8.1, consider restricting access to the HTTP management interface until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long headers in HTTP requests to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
