Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to corrupt HTTP headers or multipart body framing.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of carriage return and line feed sequences in Content-Disposition header handling when processing untrusted file names. A remote attacker can supply a malicious file name to corrupt HTTP headers or multipart body framing.

User interaction is required to trigger exploitation. The issue affects applications that set Content-Disposition values from untrusted input, including use in outbound multipart request parts, and the header-splitting case applies to non-default or legacy connectors that do not reject malicious header characters.
