Description:
Mutt has been found vulnerable to a buffer overflow when connecting to an IMAP server.
The problem is that folder names aren't verified sufficiently. This allows the server administrator to create a folder, which causes a buffer overflow. The buffer overflow is believed to be exploitable to execute arbitrary code on the client system.
