Descriptions
Mutt before 1.14.4 and NeoMutt before 2020-06-19 have a STARTTLS buffering issue that affects IMAP, SMTP, and POP3. When a server sends a "begin TLS" response, the client reads additional data (e.g., from a man-in-the-middle attacker) and evaluates it in a TLS context, aka "response injection."
Mutt versiones anteriores a 1.14.4 y NeoMutt antes del 19-06-2020, presentan un problema de almacenamiento de STARTTLS que afecta a IMAP, SMTP y POP3. Cuando un servidor envía una respuesta "begin TLS", el cliente lee datos adicionales (por ejemplo, a partir de un atacante man-in-the-middle) y los evalúa en un contexto TLS, también se conoce como "response injection"
It was discovered that Mutt incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to enable MITM attacks. This update also address a regression caused in the last update USN-4401-1. It only affected Ubuntu 12.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.10.
