Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2021-3181 (CCN-195049)

Assigned:2021-01-17
Published:2021-01-17
Updated:2022-07-12
Summary:rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields (aka terminators of empty groups). A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons.
