As far as I know there is no way of fixing this with the tools that are
available in the filter environment.

The filter was only ever a stopgap measure - it is now becoming
dangerous in that there are too many known things it cannot handle.
Any site using this as their main protection should look at moving to a
full fledged scanner of some sort.
