|
<p>
|
|
Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws fail to properly handle non-ASCII

<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.

<workaround>
