Descriptions

Multiple content security gateway and antivirus products allow remote attackers to bypass content restrictions via MIME messages that use non-standard but frequently supported Content-Transfer-Encoding values such as (1) uuencode, (2) mac-binhex40, and (3) yenc, which may be interpreted differently by mail clients.

Múltiples productos de pasarelas de seguridad de contenidos y antivirus pueden permitir a atacantes remotos saltarse restricciones de contenido mediante mensajes MIME que usan valores Content-Transfer-Encoding no estándar pero ampliamente soportados, como (1) uuencode, (2) mac-binhex40, y (3) yenc, lo que puede ser interpretado de manera distinta por clientes de correo.

By using MIME encapsulation techniques centered on both standard and non-standard Content-Transfer-Encoding mechanisms, embedded file attachment blocking functionality can be evaded.
