<background>
<p>
Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
TAKAHASHI Tamotsu has discovered that Mutt contains a boundary error in
the "browse_get_namespace()" function in browse.c, which can be
triggered when receiving an overly long namespace from an IMAP server.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A malicious IMAP server can send an overly long namespace to Mutt in
order to crash the application, and possibly execute arbitrary code
with the permissions of the user running Mutt.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Mutt users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mutt-1.5.11-r2"</code>
</resolution>
