(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."
