  - Sylpheed 2.2.7 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which
    prevents Sylpheed from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages
    with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without
    detection. (CVE-2007-1267)
