CVE-2007-6008: Heap-based buffer overflow in emlsr.dll before 2.0.0.4 in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView Viewer, Filter...

Heap-based buffer overflow in emlsr.dll before 2.0.0.4 in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView Viewer, Filter, and Export SDK allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Content-Type header line in an EML file. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old remote-code-execution risk in Autonomy, formerly Verity, KeyView components that parse EML email files. A malformed Content-Type header could overflow heap memory in emlsr.dll before 2.0.0.4. The CVE record warns the provenance is unknown and based only on third-party information. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems that embed Autonomy/Verity KeyView to view, filter, index, or export EML files. The source bundle does not provide affected CPEs or downstream products, so exposure must be confirmed by software inventory and component version checks. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure check, not a confirmed active emergency. Prioritize environments that parse untrusted email files or run older document-filtering products, because successful exploitation could allow code execution. Mitigation focus: Check vendor guidance for Autonomy/Verity KeyView and any embedded OEM uses.; Upgrade affected emlsr.dll deployments to 2.0.0.4 or later where available.; Restrict untrusted EML processing on systems using legacy KeyView components..
