Description

Format string vulnerability in the inc_put_error function in src/inc.c in Sylpheed 2.4.4, and Sylpheed-Claws (Claws Mail) 1.9.100 and 2.10.0, allows remote POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in crafted replies.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
