This signature detects Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) attachments with directory traversal characters in their filenames. Malicious users can utilize this method to place executable files onto a target system.
MDaemon server is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user input. Failure to sanitize the filename and path may result in compromise of the file system outside of the application's quarantine directory.
