Detail
| It was discovered that the mutt mail reader performs insufficient validation of values returned from an IMAP server, which might overflow a buffer and potentially lead to the injection of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.9-2sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.11+cvs20060403-2. We recommend that you upgrade your mutt package. |
