Description Tomas Hoger 2007-08-24 10:05:34 UTC

Ulf Harnhammar (Secunia Research) has discovered a format string vulnerability
in sylpheed and claws-mail in inc_put_error() function in src/inc.c when
displaying POP3 error reply.

Problem can be exploited by malicious POP3 server via specially crafted POP3
server replies containing format specifiers.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires that
the user is tricked into connecting to a malicious POP3 server.

Secunia advisory:
