Stack-based buffer overflow in the conv_euctojis function in codeconv.c in Claws Mail 3.13.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted email, involving Japanese character set conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8614.
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.
