From: lists at intrusense.com (Darren Bounds) Subject: Multi-vendor AV gateway image inspection bypass vulnerability Hello Danny, This vulnerability is only applicable to the HTTP data while in transit. Once received by the client the image will be rendered and subsequently detected if local AV software. At the present time, I'm not aware of any AV, IDS or IPS vendor that will detect malicious images imbedded in HTML in this manner. Thank you, Darren Bounds Intrusense, LLC. -- Intrusense - Securing Business As Usual On Jan 11, 2005, at 2:14 PM, Danny wrote: > On Mon, 10 Jan 2005 14:08:11 -0500, Darren Bounds > <dbounds@...rusense.com> wrote: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> Multi-vendor AV gateway image inspection bypass vulnerability >> January 10, 2005 >> >> A vulnerability has been discovered which allows a remote attacker to >> bypass anti-virus >> (as well other security technologies such as IDS and IPS) inspection >> of >> HTTP image content. >> >> By leveraging techniques described in RFC 2397 for base64 encoding >> image content within >> the URL scheme.
