  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker can send a malicious email message which, when
    displayed, would cause the program to crash, potentially allowing the
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    software.

  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
