The installation of Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0 before 3.0.2, when both anti-virus and anti-spam are supported, does not create or launch the associated scan engines when the system is under heavy load, which has unspecified impact, probably remote bypass of scanner protection or a denial of service (message loss or delay).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0 before 3.0.2. Under heavy load, installations supporting both antivirus and antispam may fail to create or start scan engines. The reported impact is unspecified, but likely involves mail scanning bypass or mail loss/delay. Exposure appears limited to legacy Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange 3.0 deployments before 3.0.2 with both antivirus and antispam enabled. Modern or unrelated Sophos products are not identified in the provided sources. Treat as a legacy email security control risk. Prioritize if the organization still depends on this product, because failure could reduce mail scanning protection or disrupt message flow. Mitigation focus: Inventory Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange deployments and versions.; Upgrade affected 3.0 installations before 3.0.2 according to Sophos guidance.; Confirm antivirus and antispam scan engines are created and running after maintenance..
