Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: mutt version 1.4.1 Balsa version 2.0.10

Description: The issue allows remote malicious IMAP servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain large mailbox size values that cause either integer signedness errors or integer overflow errors.

Recommendations: For mutt version 1.4.1, consider updating to a newer version that addresses the issue. For Balsa version 2.0.10, consider updating to a newer version that addresses the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to untrusted IMAP servers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
