      ZoneLabs SMTP Processing Buffer Overflow (RCPT TO)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.zonelabs.com> ZoneLabs provides a suite of desktop firewall
    products. Products in this suite such as ZoneAlarm analyze incoming and
    outgoing email messages for malicious or otherwise abnormal content.
    When ZoneAlarm examines outgoing email messages a buffer overflow
    condition is presented when the destination email address is retrieved
    from the message. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to elevate
    his privileges to SYSTEM on any machine protected by a vulnerable ZoneLabs
    product. This vulnerability can also be exploited remotely if an attacker
    can manipulate the protected system into sending an outgoing email
    message.

    DETAILS

    A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability within vsmon.exe can be
    exploited to execute code with the context of the SYSTEM account. The
    vulnerability exists within the component responsible for processing the
    RCPT TO command argument. By specifying a large argument to the RCPT TO
    command an internal stack based buffer can be overflowed within the
    TrueVector Internet Monitor (vsmon.exe) process.

    Vendor Status:
    ZoneLabs was contacted and within only a few days they produced an update
    to eliminate this vulnerability within their products. We would like to
    give special recognition to the responsiveness of ZoneLabs in creating a
    fix to protect their customers.
    A patch for this vulnerability can be found at:
