Monthly
Heap out-of-bounds write in Mutt's convert_file_from_to() charset conversion routine can be triggered when a user adopts an attacker-supplied email message as a composition template, letting a crafted Content-Type header drive the conversion past the end of an allocated buffer. Exploitation is local and user-driven: the victim must deliberately invoke the template workflow on the malicious message (CVSS 3.1 AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R, base score 2.5; the internal assessment results in the same base metric group with a Low rather than None availability impact), and favorable memory conditions are needed for the out-of-bounds write to occur reliably. Mutt versions up to and including 2.4.2 are affected per EUVD, no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch version is confirmed in the available data.
Mutt mail client before version 2.3.2 crashes due to a null pointer dereference in the show_sig_summary function when processing GPG signatures, causing denial of service. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction to trigger (viewing a malicious email with a crafted signature), resulting in application termination with minimal real-world impact. CVSS score of 2.5 reflects low severity; no public exploit or active exploitation confirmed.
Mutt before version 2.3.2 contains an infinite loop in the data_object_to_stream function within crypt-gpgme.c that can be triggered during GPG encryption operations, leading to denial of service. The vulnerability affects remote attackers under high-complexity conditions (requiring specific GPG-encrypted message handling), and is publicly documented via a GitHub commit but has no active exploitation confirmed. The fix changes the loop condition from checking non-zero read results to explicitly checking for positive read values (> 0), preventing infinite iteration when gpgme_data_read returns zero or negative values.
Mutt before 2.3.2 mishandles the IMAP GSS security level due to improper integer casting and insufficient bounds checking, allowing remote attackers to trigger memory corruption and information disclosure via a crafted IMAP server response during GSS-API authentication. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity (malicious IMAP server) but affects all versions prior to 2.3.2.
mutt before version 2.3.2 fails to validate null bytes during URL percent-decoding, allowing remote attackers to inject embedded null characters into decoded URLs, potentially causing information disclosure through truncation of validation checks or bypassing of security filters that rely on string length.
mutt before version 2.3.2 truncates the IMAP CRAM-MD5 authentication hash by one byte due to incorrect use of strfcpy instead of memcpy, potentially allowing attackers to bypass or weaken authentication on IMAP connections through off-by-one string handling errors.
Mutt before 2.3.2 uses an unsafe string copy function (strfcpy) instead of memcpy when handling MD5 digest data in IMAP CRAM authentication, allowing attackers to potentially forge IMAP credentials by triggering buffer manipulation during the authentication handshake. The vulnerability requires manual connection attempt to a malicious IMAP server and affects network IMAP authentication flows, though the low CVSS score (3.7) reflects high attack complexity and integrity impact only.
In mutt and neomutt, PGP encryption does not use the --hidden-recipient mode which may leak the Bcc email header field by inferring from the recipients info. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
