Outlook 'CR' Vulnerability

E

emustiga

Definition of Outlook 'CR' Vulnerability: This vulnerability occurs when an E-mail contains a single 'CR' character within the E-mail headers (as opposed to a 'CR' followed by an 'LF', which is used to end a line in SMTP). Outlook can treat this as the end of the headers, which would allow Outlook to see a virus that was embedded in the headers. RFC2822 2.2 says that CR and LF characters cannot appear alone in the headers. Also, there is no legitimate reason for an E-mail to contain a lone 'CR' in the headers.
I need to know how to fix the problem, is any patch for this? Some emails are filtered and held by Declude and AppRiver services because of Outlook 'CR' Vulnerability.
Thank you in advance for your help in this meatter.
