content: Why? You think that people developing JPEG decoders don't make any mistakes, unlike anyone else? A fair amount of security flaws have been found in the media handling of the various browsers, so I wouldn't be surprised if a specially crafted JPEG file could trigger the browser to execute code. Not saying that this is the case with Kiriakos' file, but assuming that something is harmless because it's just an image is both dangerous and naive.

content: test ...........For some reason, I had to copy the picture with the clipboard so to recreate a new file.So to be able to work.This picture was taken from the APC web site five years back or more.It looks that there is a active filter on the forum about pictures that haves a digital signature from their author.

content: Quote from: Kiriakos-GR on September 22, 2011, 09:35:46 pmWhy is that such a surprise?The picture will be re-encoded with a slight loss in quality so the magic number recognised as a virus no longer exist in the file.

content: "Perform extensive security checks on uploaded image attachments" is turned OFF, because it warns "The extensive security checks can result in a large number of rejected attachments."So what you are seeing should not happen as far as I know."Re-encode potentially dangerous image attachments" was turned OFF, I've now turned it ON, perhaps that might help.and it is not checking for attachment extensions.Dave.

content: Dear Kiriakos:--I was sorry to hear that the Hadjipapakostandinopoulos Mfg. Inc. Model HET87 Trojan Horse has been discontinued, and will be replaced with HES22 Trojan Squirrel. The cheap Trojan Horse clones made in Guangdong Sheng from inferior Quercus Mongolica wood now dominate the market. Word is that the HES22 Trojan Squirrel will have a lower price point, and will save money by carrying 3 less Greeks and having a smaller p*ss pot.--Reached for comment the Hadjipapakostandinopoulos spokesman said there are a lot of cost cutting moves being considered at this time, including renaming the company HMI in order to reduce printing costs."Does not squirrel crack nuts on bough of oak tree" Lao FuBest RegardsClear Ether

content: Quote from: EEVblog on September 22, 2011, 11:29:52 pmDid you turn that off dave? Because, you should leave it on since that just check for extensions (like .jpg, .gif, .png) so that someone doesn't upload a file like pic.php.PS: I'll upload one and see.-edit-I've uploaded, but don't see any harm. But still a good idea to check for extension.
