Discussion

Qualcomm Eudora File Attachment Vulnerability

If an attacker composed an email with the body of the message containing the path to a known file residing on the target recipient's system, Eudora will automatically attach the file if the recipient forwards the message, compromising confidentiality of the target and potentially supplying an attacker with information which could be used to further breach the security of the vulnerable system.
