Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Outlook Express versions 5.5 through 6.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass virus protection and other filtering mechanisms via a mail message with headers that only contain a carriage return (CR), which causes the software to create separate headers.
