<title>MIME-tools: Virus detection evasion</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|

|
|
some virus-scanning programs which use MIME-tools from detecting certain
|
|
viruses.

An attacker could send a carefully crafted email and evade detection on
|
|
some email virus-scanning programs using MIME-tools for attachment
|
|
decoding.
