      Proxy Vulnerability in TrendMicro InterScan VirusWall
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    A quite well known type of proxy vulnerability was found for TrendMicro's
    InterScan VirusWall. This general problem has been known to be an issue
    with plain HTTP proxies like Squid.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * TrendMicro's InterScan VirusWall version 3.6

    Immune systems:
     * TrendMicro's InterScan VirusWall version 3.7 Build 1190 or newer

    The vulnerability can be exploited using the CONNECT method to connect to
    a different server, e.g. an internal mailserver.

    Example:
    You = 6.6.6.666
    Trendmicro ISVW = 1.1.1.1 (HTTP proxy at port 80)
    Internal Mailserver = 2.2.2.2

    Connect with "telnet 1.1.1.1 80" to ISVW proxy and enter: CONNECT
    2.2.2.2:25 / HTTP/1.0

    The response should be the mail server banner.

    You can connect to any TCP port on any machine the proxy can connect to.
    Telnet, SMTP, POP, etc.

    Solution:
    Update to ISVW 3.7 Build 1190 or newer (available since some weeks now).

    Workarounds:
     - Disable the HTTP proxy.
     - You have a firewall that prevents unauthorized access to the Trend ISVW
    proxy.
