AFAICS that CVE is missing at least two more affected packages in
squeeze: libsylph¹ and sylpheed², which unfortunately contains an
embedded code copy (ECC) of the former.

Both are still affected on current sid versions³⁴ and upstream⁵, not
sure whether that fact should be reflected on the same CVE. 

There's also another ECC in sylfilter⁶⁷ which is affected, but not in
squeeze, just stretch/sid.

I've included also the maintainer and upstream of those packages in Cc.

I'd like, but my time to Debian is very limited right now, and seems
there's not a working patch for this. The lack of examples triggering
the supposed overflow is also a problem.

If you can get a patch fixing this I could take care of the rest given
there's not a very tight timing to LTS release.

Is that acceptable to you?
