Security readout for executives and security teams

This old issue affects Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0 before 3.0.2. A crafted RTF or PDF attachment could disrupt the scanner service, delaying mail queues and leaving spam rule updates incomplete. The business impact is mail-processing disruption, not confirmed data theft. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0 before 3.0.2, especially where inbound mail accepts RTF or PDF attachments. Treat this as a targeted operational continuity risk for legacy mail filtering. Prioritize if the product remains deployed; otherwise document non-exposure and move on. Mitigation focus: Confirm whether PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange is installed and still in use.; Upgrade affected 3.0 deployments to 3.0.2 or later per Sophos guidance.; Review mail gateway attachment handling for RTF and PDF files..
