Detail

Colin Leroy discovered several buffer overflows in a number of importer routines in sylpheed-claws, an extended version of the Sylpheed mail client, that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

The following matrix explains which versions fix this vulnerability

old stable (woody) stable (sarge) unstable (sid) sylpheed 0.7.4-4woody1 1.0.4-1sarge1 2.0.4-1 sylpheed-gtk1 n/a n/a 1.0.6-1 sylpheed-claws 0.7.4claws-3woody1 1.0.4-1sarge1 1.0.5-2 sylpheed-claws-gtk2 n/a n/a 1.9.100-1

We recommend that you upgrade your sylpheed-claws package.
