Mutt: Arbitrary code execution A vulnerability in Mutt could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. mutt June 05, 2014 June 05, 2014: 1 504462 remote 1.5.22-r3 1.5.22-r3

Mutt is a small but powerful text-based mail client.

A heap-based buffer overflow has been discovered in the mutt_copy_hdr function.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Mutt or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Mutt users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mutt-1.5.22-r3" CVE-2014-0467 BlueKnight creffett
