Sylpheed is a lightweight email client and newsreader.
|
|
|
|
|
Sylpheed-Claws is a 'bleeding edge' version of Sylpheed. They both
|
|
|
|
|
support the import of address books in LDIF (Lightweight Directory
|
|
|
|
|
Interchange Format).

Colin Leroy reported buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Sylpheed
|
|
|
|
|
and Sylpheed-Claws. The LDIF importer uses a fixed length buffer to
|
|
|
|
|
store data of variable length. Two similar problems exist also in the
|
|
|
|
|
Mutt and Pine addressbook importers of Sylpheed-Claws.

|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
By convincing a user to import a specially-crafted LDIF file into
|
|
|
|
|
the address book, a remote attacker could cause the program to crash,
|
|
|
|
|
potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
|
|
|
privileges of the user running the software.

<workaround>

|
|

|
There is no known workaround at this time.
