Múltiples desbordamientos de buffer basado en pila en las funciones (1) conv_jistoeuc, (2) conv_euctojis y (3) conv_sjistoeuc en codeconv.c en Claws Mail en versiones anteriores a 3.13.1 permiten a atacantes remotos tener un impacto no especificado a través de un correo electrónico manipulado, implicando la conversión del conjunto de caracteres Japanese.

"DrWhax" of the Tails project reported that Claws Mail is missing range checks in some text conversion functions. A remote attacker could exploit this to run arbitrary code under the account of a user that receives a message from them using Claws Mail.
