Descriptions

The MimeOleClearDirtyTree function in InetComm.dll in Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512 does not properly handle (1) multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and possibly (2) e-mail messages with many "Content-type: message/rfc822;" headers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a large e-mail message, a related issue to CVE-2006-1173.

La función MimeOleClearDirtyTree en InetComm.dll en Microsoft Outlook Express v6.00.2900.5512 no gestiona apropiadamente (1) mensajes de correo multipart/mixed con muchas partes MIME y posiblemente (2) mensajes de correo electrónico con muchas cabeceras "Content-type: message/rfc822;", lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de pila o consumo de otros recursos) mediante un correo electrónico de gran tamaño, un problema relacionado a CVE-2006-1173.
