+ <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 "&gt;=mail-client/mutt-1.5.11-r2"</code>
