Describe the mutt buffer overflow vulnerability.
What will be an ideal response?
muttis a text-based e-mail client package that you can use in any Linux or UNIX-based operating system. You can use the mutt package in conjunction with MIME and PGP. mutt also supports POP3 and IMAP e-mail messages. If you use a mutt package version earlier than mutt-1.2.5.1, a weakness allows hackers to overwrite the data stored in the system memory. The reason for this vulnerability is a buffer overflow in these versions of mutt.?Attackers sometimes send e-mail messages with malformed content to the target system. This malformed content permits these remote hackers to change the arbitrary bytes in the memory. This vulnerability affects all Red Hat Linux operating systems, from versions 6.2 to 7.2. This has been patched on newer versions of Red Hat.
