Package : mutt
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-3242

It was discovered that the mutt mail reader performs insufficient
validation of values returned from an IMAP server, which might overflow
a buffer and potentially lead to the injection of arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.9-2sarge2.
