Earlier this week software developer Tim Cotten discovered a serious glitch in Gmail. An anonymous reader quotes BleepingComputer:Cotten's bug report "relies on his previous discovery that proved how a malformed 'From:' header allows placing an arbitrary email address in the sender field," the article points out, also noting a third recently-reported Gmail bug that "allows fraudsters to create a 'mailto:' link that populates the destination field in the app with whatever address they want ; the latter was reported about 19 months ago to Google and is still present in the Gmail app for Android.""According to the developer, one solution Google could implement to avoid forging the From field is to properly check the email headers and deny communication with an anomalous structure in the sender or recipient fields. Another method proposed by Cotten is Joran Greef's project Ronomon, which can trigger errors when email specifications are not followed."Threatpost reported Tuesday that Google " did not respond to a request for comment ."
