+ <title>Sylpheed, Sylpheed-Claws: Buffer overflow in LDIF importer</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Sylpheed and Sylpheed-Claws contain a buffer overflow vulnerability which
+ may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Sylpheed is a lightweight email client and newsreader.
+ Sylpheed-Claws is a 'bleeding edge' version of Sylpheed. They both
+ support the import of address books in LDIF (Lightweight Directory
+ Interchange Format).

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Colin Leroy reported buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Sylpheed
+ and Sylpheed-Claws. The LDIF importer uses a fixed length buffer to
+ store data of variable length. Two similar problems exist also in the
+ Mutt and Pine addressbook importers of Sylpheed-Claws.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By convincing a user to import a specially-crafted LDIF file into
+ the address book, a remote attacker could cause the program to crash,
+ potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the software.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Sylpheed users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/sylpheed-2.0.4&quot;</code>
