(Sylpheed, Sylpheed-claws: Buffer overflow on message display)

    Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws fail to properly handle messages
    containing attachments with MIME-encoded filenames.
  
Impact :

    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 :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
