Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions eTrust CA version 7.0.1.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass virus scanning via a file such as BAT, HTML, and EML with an "MZ" magic byte sequence, which is normally associated with EXE.

A "triple headed" program that contains EXE, EML, and HTML content can demonstrate this issue.
