isync 1.4.0-1.4.3 - Remote Code Execution via Crafted IMAP Mail Message

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

A flaw was found in mbsync in isync 1.4.0 through 1.4.3. Due to an unchecked condition, a malicious or compromised IMAP server could use a crafted mail message that lacks headers (i.e., one that starts with an empty line) to provoke a heap overflow, which could conceivably be exploited for remote code execution.
