description
MIME-tools versions before 5.521 can stop processing multipart Content-Type parameters after an invalid parameter. A remote sender may cause an attachment to be missed by filters that rely on ambiguity detection while a recipient mail client still displays it; this requires processing a crafted multipart message.
mitigation
Upgrade MIME-tools to version 5.521 or later. Until upgraded, ensure mail filtering does not rely solely on MIME-tools ambiguity detection for attachment inspection.
fixed in 5.521
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
