Last modified

CVE-2006-0528 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains "Content-Disposition: inline" in the header, and a very long line in the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using an XML attachment.. EPSS estimates a 9.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
