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 the imap quote string function in the imap/util.c file of the Mutt and NeoMutt email clients. This function does not account for quote characters, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. The exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For Mutt versions prior to 1.10.1, update to version 1.10.1 or later to resolve the issue. For NeoMutt versions prior to 2018-07-16, update to a version released after 2018-07-16 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the imap quote string function until a patch is available.
