Document Title: =============== Syneto EMail Protection 1.5.1 - Code Execution Vulnerability References (Source): ==================== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=548 Syneto ID: 2601 Release Date: ============= 2012-06-23 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): ==================================== 548 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 3.1 Product & Service Introduction: =============================== Email Protection is a powerful perimeter email anti-malware product. It fights spam, viruses, zombies and phishing attacks, provides realtime updates and powerful reporting capabilities that help prevent email threats from reaching your computers, thus reducing costs and increasing productivity. The web content filter helps ensure that employees access only those resources that help them accomplish work related activities. Access to time wasting social networks like Twitter and Facebook can be restricted or completely eliminated. Internet crime is at an all-time high. There are thousands of sites that try to steal credit card information or install viruses and spyware programs on your computer. Sadly, at the rate that they are appearing, anything less than a fully automated solution won’t catch them. By blocking malware websites using Web Protection, you make sure nobody will ever access them, and lower the risk for data and financial losses. Legislation makes it the company’s responsibility to ensure a safe environment for the employees. That includes restricting access to potentially illegal resources and websites. The Application Filter can block downloads from P2P networks (torrents, aMule etc.) or via Instant Messengers. A lot of similar products are built by highly technical engineers and as such, lack attention to regular users who a lot of times are frustrated by seemingly impossible configuration interfaces. Our development philosophy emphasizes ease of use, so we spend a lot of time doing usability studies that help us create easy to use, yet powerful products. Configuring and deploying such a product can be a real challenge in more complex environments. We offer professional technical support to all our customers, thus making sure they get from zero to a fully functioning installation in the shortest time possible. Each business is unique and so is their I.T. infrastructure. Our customers demand ease of integration into existing networks. Web Protection can be deployed in a variety of scenarios, thanks to its ability to come in several versions (hardware, software and virtualized).

The vulnerability is located on the remote backup module & stored version display in the syneto firmware update function. The bugs allows remote attackers or low privileged user accounts to load backup files via url as file value request with unsanitized name. Attackers can include as the url file name of the value request own program code like statements, exploits, malware or malicious script codes to compromise the system. The executed url context will be displayed as last update request on the firmware when successfully exploited by attackers. The vulnerability is only exploitable with high privileged email protection appliance application account.
