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

Description The issue is related to errors in handling input data in the nntp.c file of the NeoMutt email client. It may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code if the vulnerability is exploited. The problem arises when memory allocation fails for messages data, but the process continues nonetheless.

Recommendations For 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 access to the nntp.c file or disabling its functionality until a patch is available.
