Summary
tnef vulnerabilities
Details

Paul Dreik discovered that TNEF incorrectly handled filenames. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted email attachment, an attacker could possibly use this issue to write arbitrary files to the filesystem or cause TNEF crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-18849)
