+ Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws fail to properly handle non-ASCII
+ characters in email headers when composing reply messages.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker can send an email containing a malicious non-ASCII
+ header which, when replied to, would cause the program to crash,
+ potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the software.

+ <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 "&gt;=mail-client/sylpheed-1.0.3"</code>
