| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 20675 | Sylpheed Address Book LDIF Import Overflow A flaw exists in the handling of importing LDIF files into the address book portion of Sylpheed. The flaw is triggered when a single line exceeds 2048 characters, and a stack-based overflow occurs. With a specially crafted file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
