<p>
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).

<description>
<p>
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>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Sylpheed users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/sylpheed-2.0.4"</code>
<p>
All Sylpheed-Claws users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/sylpheed-claws-1.0.5-r1"</code>
