CVE-2003-1015
Multiple content security gateway and antivirus products allow remote attackers to bypass content restrictions via MIME messages that use whitespace in an unusual fashion, which may be interpreted differently by mail clients.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
