<p>
Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws fail to properly handle non-ASCII
characters in email headers when composing reply messages.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker can send an email containing a malicious non-ASCII
header which, when replied to, would 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>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/sylpheed-1.0.3&quot;</code>
