Product    : Fedora Core 6 Name       : mutt Version    : 1.4.2.3 Release    : 1.fc6 Summary    : A text mode mail user agent. Description : Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent. Mutt supports color, threading, arbitrary key remapping, and a lot of customization.

- Update Information:

This update fixes two security issues:

The APOP protocol allows remote attackers to guess the first 3 characters of a password via man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks that use crafted message IDs and MD5 collisions. (CVE-2007-1558)

Buffer overflow in Mutt 1.4.2 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via "&" characters in the GECOS field, which triggers the overflow during alias expansion. (CVE-2007-2683)

- - update to 1.4.2.3 (CVE-2007-2683, CVE-2007-1558)
