CVE-2000-0342

Summary

CVE-2000-0342 is a vulnerability affecting Eudora version 4.x email clients. This issue allows attackers to bypass the user warning for executable attachments, such as .exe, .com, and .bat, by using a malicious .lnk file instead. The .lnk file deceitfully refers to the attachment, which is referred to as a "Stealth Attachment" technique. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution and potential compromise of the affected system. Users of Eudora 4.x are advised to update to a newer, patched version or use alternative email clients to mitigate this risk.
