Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:115 : mutt

 

Updated mutt packages fix buffer overflow vulnerability

June 28th, 2006

 

A stack-based buffer overflow in the browse_get_namespace function in

 

imap/browse.c of Mutt allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service

 

(crash) or execute arbitrary code via long namespaces received from the

 

IMAP server.

 

 

 

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

  • CS3.0
  • 10.2
  • 2006.0
