CVE-2001-1542
NAI WebShield SMTP 4.5 and possibly 4.5 MR1a does not filter improperly MIME encoded email attachments, which could allow remote attackers to bypass filtering and possibly execute arbitrary code in email clients that process the invalid attachments.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
