Base64 Encoding Corrupts Multipart Header Section
Document ID: 100333
Products: SocketTools, All Editions 5.0, All Platforms
Last Reviewed: July 26, 2007
Summary |
|
If a multipart email message contains more than one base64 encoded section, the header sections for subsequent message parts may be corrupted. This can result in incorrect header values, and may result in the application terminating abnormally.
|
More Information |
|
This error only occurs if there are multiple base64 encoded sections in a multipart message. Depending on the content that is being encoded, the first section may corrupt the header data for the subsequent sections that are also base64 encoded.
When the message is exported, this typically results in the Content-Transfer-Encoding header value being incorrect, although it may affect other header values as well. When the message is destroyed, the application may also terminate abnormally because of a corrupted memory allocation chain. |
