CVE-2017-17517

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sylpheed versions prior to 3.7

Description The issue is related to the BROWSER environment variable, where strings are not validated before launching the specified program. This could allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL.
