Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the IBM Proventia engine 4.9.0.0.44 20081231, as used in IBM Proventia Network Mail Security System, Network Mail Security System Virtual Appliance, Desktop Endpoint Security, Network Multi-Function Security (MFS), and possibly other products, allow remote attackers to bypass detection of malware via a modified (1) ZIP or (2) CAB archive, a related issue to CVE-2009-1240.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects older IBM Proventia malware-detection technology. A remote attacker could package malware in modified ZIP or CAB archives so the Proventia engine failed to detect it, reducing the value of a mail or endpoint security control. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running the named IBM Proventia products or the specified engine build. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, supported-version status, or complete product coverage. Prioritize if these legacy IBM Proventia products still protect email or endpoints. The business risk is silent malware passage through a trusted control, but urgency depends on whether the affected engine remains deployed. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Proventia deployments and engine versions.; Check IBM or successor vendor guidance for available updates or signatures.; Treat affected Proventia controls as potentially bypassable for ZIP and CAB malware..
