What is CVE-2006-0528?

The cairo library, utilized in applications like GNOME Evolution, is susceptible to a denial of service attack stemming from a specially crafted text file. This file contains a header with 'Content-Disposition: inline' and a lengthy body that can trigger persistent crashes in the client. As a result, users experience repeated failures unless the problematic email is manually deleted. This behavior may be linked to a buffer overflow, exemplified by manipulating XML attachments.
