ZDI-06-039: Marshal MailMarshal ARJ Extraction Directory Traversal
Vulnerability
http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-06-039.html
November 10, 2006
-- CVE ID:
CVE-2006-5487
-- Affected Vendor:
Marshal
-- Affected Products:
MailMarshal SMTP 5.x
MailMarshal SMTP 6.x
MailMarshal SMTP 2006
MailMarshal for Exchange 5.x
-- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection:
TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this
vulnerability since October 24, 2005 by Digital Vaccine protection
filter ID 3877, 3878. For further product information on the TippingPoint
IPS:

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Marshal MailMarshal (formerly of NetIQ).
Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the extraction and scanning of ARJ
compressed attachments. Due to incorrect sandboxing of extracted
filenames that contain directory traversal modifiers such as "../", an
attacker can cause an executable to be created in an arbitrary
location.
While currently existing files can not be over written, an attacker may
leverage this vulnerability in a number of ways. For example, by placing
a malicious binary in the "all users" startup folder.
-- Vendor Response:
Marshal has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details
