Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Mutt before 1.10.1 and NeoMutt before 2018-07-16. pop.c does not forbid characters that may have unsafe interaction with message-cache pathnames, as demonstrated by a '/' character.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Mutt en versiones anteriores a la 1.10.1 y NeoMutt en versiones anteriores al 2018-07-16. pop.c no prohíbe los caracteres que podrían interactuar de forma insegura con los nombres de ruta message-cache, tal y como queda demostrado con un carácter "/".
