  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted mail
      message or connect to malicious mail server using Mutt or NeoMutt,
      possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or directory traversal
      with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
    </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 "&gt;=net-client/mutt-1.10.1"
    </code>
    
    <p>All NeoMuutt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
