Description

Buffer Overflow in uudecoder in Mutt affecting all versions starting from 0.94.13 before 2.2.3 allows read past end of input line A flaw was found in mutt. When reading unencoded messages, mutt uses the line length from the untrusted input without any validation. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious message, which leads to an out-of-bounds read, causing data leaks that include fragments of other unrelated messages.
