Hello! I think, I discover some kind of security hole in ZoneAlaram - any version. The problem is hidding in E-mail Protection. Because I'm form Slovenia (not Slovakia), our alphabet does have some letters with roof (c - č, s - š, z - ž). And when the name of e-mail attachment contain any of these three letters, it don't go to the qurarantine (if the attachment do have rightextension of course).Greets, Damjan
I played around a bit to find out whether my own computer (with ZoneAlarm Pro) was vulnerable and, accidentally, found a similar behaviour from my ISPs mailserver, apparently being Exim 4.24.
When attaching any 'normally' named .EXE, my email is returned to me by Exim, with a note saying: "This kind of attachment is not good for you.....". If I rename the same .EXE to, say, (c).exe, it gets delivered and ZoneAlarm lets it in without quarantining it.
Two bugs for the price of one! cheers Samps
