Hi,

Could you let me know how to block executable files which is compressed
using gzip. One of the Mail contains attachment which compressed using gzip.
When I strip the attachment it contains a "Pdf 00231145 Swift Copy.gz" file.

 

[root@mail msg-1611056831-18887-0]# ls

msg-18887-1.txt  msg-18887-2.html  Pdf 00231145 Swift Copy.gz

 

When I unzip it using gunzip, it is just a file without an extension. But it
is an executable file.

 

[root@mail msg-1611056831-18887-0]# gunzip Pdf\ 00231145\ Swift\ Copy.gz

[root@mail msg-1611056831-18887-0]# ls

msg-18887-1.txt  msg-18887-2.html  "Pdf 00231145 Swift Copy"

[root@mail msg-1611056831-18887-0]# file Pdf\ 00231145\ Swift\ Copy

Pdf 00231145 Swift Copy: gzip compressed data, was "Pdf 00231145 Swift
Copy.exe", from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT), last modified: Mon Jan 18
05:25:12 2021

 

This file contains a Virus. So, how can I block such files (executable files
types without any extension) in MailScanner

 

Thanks
