Re: [Declude.Virus] What is "Partial Vulnerability" on a PDF
Hi, > Actually why couldn't Declude run uudecode and reassemble the file before > hand, then have it scanned and determine if it is harmful or not?? Because the time between the e-mail with first part might be one second, one day one week, etc. Declude now simply scans one e-mail, and when it's finished... it's finished. If it were to scan something like this it would need to "remember" stuff between scans. And, when would Declude decide a file sent in parts is complete? And what if a part is missing, when would Declude decide it would never get to see all parts? And what would Declude need to do with all parts before it has seen *all* parts and can finally decide whether they contain a virus or not? Multiple questions/problems which Declude would need to solve but for which is no need to solve them. The reason for sending a large file in parts is virually gone,. I can find only one reason today, either the sender or receiver is on a slow dial-up and want's to send/receive across *dial-up sessions* for whatever reason. If that's the case, maybe they should split up the file beforehand using ZIP/RAR/etc. and sent eacht part seperate.

Re: [Declude.Virus] What is "Partial Vulnerability" on a PDF
Goran, Outlook/Outlook Express allows a sender to split messages over a certain size into multiple attachments. Messages of this type can bypass virus scanning and therefore represent a vulnerability. I have however personally determined that because it is so easy to turn on, and because I have yet to find any viruses that are currently exploiting this flaw, that it is better to leave it off for now rather than comb over my hold file looking for such messages and alerting those that are set up for this. Scott does provide a stitch for your Virus.cfg that can turn this off with the following: BANPARTIALOFF I don't feel that this is a "set it and forget it" type of setting, so use at your own risk, and keep your eyes and ears pealed for exploits in the event that a virus does start exploiting the flaw. Thankfully the trickery has gone down since the arrested that German teenager :) Matt Goran Jovanovic wrote: Declude Virus and F-Prot reported X-Declude-Virus: Detected [Partial Vulnerability].

Re: [Declude.Virus] What is "Partial Vulnerability" on a PDF
Declude Virus and F-Prot reported X-Declude-Virus: Detected [Partial Vulnerability]. This is an e-mail that has been cut into 5 part and it has a PDF attached to it. That's the vulnerability -- a single attachment that has been split into multiple E-mails. This was cool in the early 90's to bypass the 50K size limit for E-mails. But today, it is not necessary, and causes a vulnerability (if not blocked, viruses could spread that way). We stopped the 5 e-mails but why would it have triggered on a PDF file? Also how does the client out the PDF back together???
