Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2004:1285
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2004:1285.

Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent.

A bug was found in the index menu code in versions of mutt. A
remoteattacker could send a carefully crafted mail message that can cause
mutt to segfault and possibly execute arbitrary code as the victim. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CVE-2004-0078 to this issue.

It is recommended that all mutt users upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported security patch and are not vulnerable to this
issue.

Fedora Legacy would like to thank Johnny Strom for notification of this
issue.

Affected platforms:
Redhat 8
