Extensions (MIME) headers of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) and
Web Security Appliances (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the
filtering functionality of the targeted device. Emails that should have been quarantined could
instead be processed.

The vulnerability is due to improper error handling when malformed MIME headers are present in the
email attachment. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending an email with a crafted
attachment encoded with MIME. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the configured
email message and content filtering.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that address this
vulnerability are not available.");
