version of Eudora.

Versions affected include:

Eudora 6.2.0 and below

The flaws permit execution of arbitrary code via:

1) previewing or opening a specially crafted email
2) opening specially crafted stationary or mailbox files

These issues have been resolved in Eudora 6.2.1 as detailed at

NGSSoftware are going to withhold details of this flaw for three months. Full details
will be published on the 2nd of May 2005. This three month window will allow users of
Eudora the time needed to apply the patch before the details are released to the general
public. This reflects NGSSoftware’s approach to responsible disclosure.
