Many infected password-protected zip files passed through our McAfee AV
(using 4332). Nonetheless we detected 341 W32/Bagle.j at MM since
midnight.
To block password-protected zip files in my current MS
(mailscanner-4.23-11), I did the following:
- modify /usr/lib/MailScanner/mcafee-wrapper this way:
#!/bin/bash

PackageDir=$1
shift
prog=uvscan # `basename $0`
datDIR=$PackageDir
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PackageDir
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
if [ "x$1" = "x-IsItInstalled" ]; then
[ -x ${PackageDir}/$prog ] && exit 0
exit 1
fi
OUTPUT=$(${PackageDir}/$prog -d $datDIR "$@" 2>&1 )
RC=$?
if [[ "$OUTPUT" = "" ]]; then
exit $RC
else
echo "$OUTPUT"
if [[ $(echo "$OUTPUT" | grep -c "password-protected") > 0 ]]; then
exit 13
else
exit $RC
fi
fi
- modify /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm this way:
in "sub ProcessMcAfeeOutput", change
return 0 unless $line =~ /Found/;
for
return 0 unless (($line =~ /Found/) or ($line =~ /is password-protected/));
- stop MailScanner and restart it
- remove any extra.dat that detects some password-protected zip files.
