Synopsis: Important: mutt security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0304-1
Issue Date: 2014-03-17
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-0467
--

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way mutt processed
certain email headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an
email with specially crafted headers that, when processed, could cause
mutt to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions
of the user running mutt. (CVE-2014-0467)

All running instances of mutt must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
