エラータID: AXSA:2021-2863:01

Release date: 
Thursday, December 23, 2021 - 22:57
Subject: 
mutt-2.0.7-1.el8
Affected Channels: 
Asianux Server 8 for x86_64
Severity: 
Moderate
Description: 

Mutt is a low resource, highly configurable, text-based MIME e-mail client. Mutt
supports most e-mail storing formats, such as mbox and Maildir, as well as most
protocols, including POP3 and IMAP.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: mutt
(2.0.7).

Security Fix(es):

* mutt: Incorrect handling of invalid initial IMAP responses could lead to an
authentication attempt over unencrypted connection (CVE-2020-28896)
* mutt: Memory leak when parsing rfc822 group addresses (CVE-2021-3181)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s)
listed in the References section.

Additional Changes:

CVE-2020-28896
Mutt before 2.0.2 and NeoMutt before 2020-11-20 did not ensure that
$ssl_force_tls was processed if an IMAP server's initial server response was
invalid. The connection was not properly closed, and the code could continue
attempting to authenticate. This could result in authentication credentials
being exposed on an unencrypted connection, or to a machine-in-the-middle.
CVE-2021-3181
rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (mailbox unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of
semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields (aka terminators of empty groups).
A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory consumption, and
the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons.

Solution: 

Update packages.
