[Mimedefang] MIMEdefang/sophie fail on 42.zip

[Juergen Georgi]

Hello,

sophie fails on 42.zip compression bombs, when called by 
MIMEDefang 2.39. It does not take advantage of sophos's 
sav compression bomb detection feature ("loop_decompr_limit 
reached") and runs at high CPU load until some timeout is 
reached, filling up /tmp with large files. 
 
This is rather strange, since the sophie sample Perl 
client sock.pl has no problems, neither with the entire 
message containing a 42.zip attachment, nor the 42.zip 
message part itself.

I am not talking about handling zip archives in MIMEDefang. 
If configured, sophie can look into zip files by itself.

Has this problem been adressed in 2.40-BETA-3?

Best regards,
