INTERNET EXPLORER MIME HEADER VULNERABILITY

Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 6.0 and also Outlook and Outlook Express programs and other programs using the Internet Explorer rendering engine are vulnerable to attack because of a failure within the Internet Explorer rendering engine to check the content of files against their MIME header. This means that an executable file disguised with a MIME heading representing an image file will be executed, the Internet Explorer rendering engine believing the file to be an image. The BadTrans worm is one example of a malicious program that utilises this vulnerability.
