DESCRIPTION
 Mutt[1] is a text-mode email client.
 
 Core Security Technologies discovered[2] a buffer overflow
 vulnerability in the mutt code that handles IMAP folders. An attacker
 who is able to control an IMAP server accessed by mutt can exploit
 this vulnerability to remotely crash the mutt client or to execute
 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running it.
 
 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
 the name CAN-2003-0201 to this issue[3].


SOLUTION
 All mutt users should upgrade.
