Debian 2.2 DSA-096-1: Critical Mutt Buffer Overflow Advisory

Package : mutt
Problem type : buffer overflow
Debian-specific: no

Joost Pol found a buffer overflow in the address handling code of
mutt (a popular mail user agent). Even though this is a one byte
overflow this is exploitable.

This has been fixed upstream in version 1.2.5.1 and 1.3.25. The
relevant patch has been added to version 1.2.5-5 of the Debian
package.
