mutt is a powerful email utility, actively maintained by the Mutt Development Team. mutt is a Mail User Agent that is both open source and freely available. A problem with mutt may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code through the MUA. This vulnerability is due to the handling of server messages returned to mutt clients by IMAP servers. Due to improper handling of input from IMAP servers, it is possible to execute a format string attack against mutt clients using an IMAP server. Therefore, it is possible to remote execute commands on a mutt MUA with the privileges of the mutt user.
