Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Mutt before 1.10.1 and NeoMutt before 2018-07-16. imap_quote_string in imap/util.c does not leave room for quote characters, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Mutt en versiones anteriores a la 1.10.1 y NeoMutt en versiones anteriores al 2018-07-16. imap_quote_string en imap/util.c no deja espacio para los caracteres de comillas, lo que conduce a un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila.

Jeriko One discovered that NeoMutt incorrectly handled certain IMAP and POP3 responses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NeoMutt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or the execution of arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
