Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client.

A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in Mutt’s mutt_substrdup function.

A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Mutt users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/mutt-1.5.23-r5"
