Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mutt versions prior to 1.10.1 NeoMutt versions prior to 2018-07-16

Description The issue is related to errors in handling references to the ".." directory in mailbox names in the imap/util.c component of Mutt and NeoMutt email clients. This can allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to information.

Recommendations For Mutt versions prior to 1.10.1, update to version 1.10.1 or later. For NeoMutt versions prior to 2018-07-16, update to a version released after 2018-07-16. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the imap/util.c component until a patch is available.
