Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Mutt before 1.10.1 and NeoMutt before 2018-07-16. imap/message.c has a stack-based buffer overflow for a FETCH response with a long RFC822.SIZE field.

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/message.c tiene un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila para una respuesta FETCH con un campo RFC822.SIZE largo.

USN-3719-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Mutt. Unfortunately, the fixes were not correctly applied to the packaging for Mutt in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update corrects the oversight. It was discovered that Mutt incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
