Stack-based buffer overflow in the ldif_get_line function in ldif.c of Sylpheed before 2.1.6 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by having local users import LDIF files with long lines.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
