Description Josh Bressers 2005-03-09 13:12:54 EST

Buffer overflow in Sylpheed before 1.0.3 and other versions before 1.9.5 allows
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an e-mail message with certain
headers containing non-ASCII characters that are not properly handled when the
user replies to the message.

The upstream patch is here:
