Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Content security gateway and antivirus products (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass content restrictions in multiple content security gateway and antivirus products. This is achieved through MIME messages that utilize malformed quoting in MIME headers, parameters, and values. The malformed quoting can include fields that should not be quoted, duplicate quotes, or missing leading or trailing quote characters. These malformed quotes may be interpreted differently by mail clients, potentially leading to the bypassing of content restrictions.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
