It has been reported that Foxmail is prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to verify buffer boundaries when processing user supplied email headers. A remote attacker may potentially exploit this issue to cause the email client to crash, denying service to the victim user. It is also possible to further leverage this issue in order to execute arbitrary code; this code would be executed in the security context of the user running the affected email client.
