Qualcomm has pushed out an update for its Eudora e-mail client to fix multiple security flaws that put users at risk of computer hijacking.
The San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., which offers a free version of the client alongside premium versions, said the new Eudora 6.2.1 corrects several vulnerabilities reported by research firm NGSS (Next Generation Security Software Ltd.)

Secunia has slapped a "highly critical" rating on the flaws and is urging users to upgrade immediately.

NGSS researcher John Heasman described the flaws as "high risk" in the Windows version of Eudora and warned that a malicious attacker could execute arbitrary code if a user previews or opens a specially crafted e-mail.
