Description:Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent.

  • A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Mutt processes an overly long namespace from a malicious imap server. In order to exploit this flaw a user would have to use Mutt to connect to a malicious IMAP server. (CVE-2006-3242)

    Users of Mutt are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
