Slackware Security[slackware-security] mutt (SSA:2026-282-01)
New mutt packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mutt-2.4.3-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
When an email is processed as a template, an out-of-bounds write
vulnerability in the convert_file_from_to() function can be triggered
by a specially crafted Content-Type header. A remote attacker could
entice a user to use a malicious email message as a template, potentially
leading to memory corruption and application instability.
