Hello, The new version fixes at least one critical buffer overflow, which has been fixed in 1.0.3 and the svn-branch for the development-version. Here's the annoucement: From: Hiroyuki Yamamoto <hiro-y@kcn.ne.jp> Hello, Since a buffer overflow bug was found, I've made an urgent release of 1.0.3. This problem exists in almost all of the older version, so be sure to upgrade. In the development version, it is fixed on the svn trunk. Changes: * A buffer overflow which occurred when replying to a message with certain headers which contain non-ascii characters was fixed. * A memory leak of the composition window was fixed.
Akinori please bump.
hattya / net-mail: please bump to 1.0.3
Development version 1.9.5 with the same fix has been released.
The new version in portage (1.9.5) works fine for me, but please also include the references-patch from 1.9.2 (works without change for 1.9.5 as well).

a quick look at compose.c in sylpheed-claws suggests its vulnerable to the compose overflow.
I used this patch as a reference: http://sylpheed.good-day.net/sylpheed/v1.0/sylpheed-1.0.2-1.0.3.patch.gz And checked the source after: rob@leet ~ $ sudo ebuild /usr/portage/mail-client/sylpheed-claws/sylpheed-claws-1.0.1.1.ebuild unpack This version is vulnerable to the overflow which the above patch correct in sylpheed. I haven't checked other versions, but I assume they also contain the flaw.
Adding genone to advise on sylpheed-claws.
sparc stable.
-claws is also affected, 1.0.3 has the patch and just got into cvs as ~arch as I still have to test it a little bit more and also check the plugins.
sylpheed-claws-1.0.3 marked stable on x86 and amd64, still needs ppc, sparc and alpha love.
Stable on SPARC.
