Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mutt versions 1.5.13 and earlier

Description The issue prevents Mutt from properly distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components when invoking GnuPG, due to incorrect usage of the --status-fd argument. This allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.

Recommendations For versions 1.5.13 and earlier, update to a version that properly handles the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG to prevent message forgery.
