CVE-2002-0285
Last modified
CVE-2002-0285 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.0 on Windows treats a carriage return ("CR") in a message header as if it were a valid carriage return/line feed combination (CR/LF), which could allow remote attackers to bypass virus protection and or other filtering mechanisms via a mail message with headers that only contain the CR, which causes Outlook to create separate headers.. EPSS estimates a 12.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
