AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Mutt versions 1.3.28 and earlier Balsa versions 1.2.4 and earlier

Description: The issue is related to multiple off-by-one buffer overflows in the IMAP capability. A remote malicious IMAP server can cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted mail folder.

Recommendations: For Mutt versions 1.3.28 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.3.28 to resolve the issue. For Balsa versions 1.2.4 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.2.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IMAP capability until a patch is available.
