What is CVE-2005-4695?

The Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam product versions 6.0 build 1 and 2 are susceptible to a denial of service attack due to improper handling of malformed MIME messages. Remote attackers can exploit this weakness by sending specially crafted messages that force the bmserver component to terminate, resulting in disruption of service. This vulnerability emphasizes the need for robust input validation and vulnerability management to prevent potential service outages.
