Description:
A weakness has been discovered in Microsoft Outlook Express 6, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The weakness is caused due to an error when validating email headers. This can be exploited to crash the application when a specially crafted email is viewed.
This will only pose a problem if the preview pane is enabled, since Outlook Express will crash each time it is started.
