Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Claws Mail versions prior to 3.13.1

Description The issue involves multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the conv jistoeuc, conv euctojis, and conv sjistoeuc functions in codeconv.c. This allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted email, specifically involving Japanese character set conversion.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.13.1, update to version 3.13.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the conv jistoeuc, conv euctojis, and conv sjistoeuc functions until a patch is available. Restrict access to emails that may trigger the Japanese character set conversion to minimize the risk of exploitation.
