mutt-1.4.1 fixes a buffer overflow. From: Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org> To: BUGTRAQ@securityfocus.com Date: Today 00.15.46 Mutt versions 1.4.1 and 1.5.4 have just been released and will soon be available from ftp://ftp.mutt.org/mutt/. Both versions fix a buffer overflow in mutt's IMAP client code which was identified by Core Security Technologies, and fixed by Edmund Grimley Evans. A more detailed advisory will be published by Core Security. Version 1.4.1 is a release on mutt's stable branch. The only differences against 1.4 are a number of bug fixes. If you are currently using mutt 1.4, it's probably a very good idea to update. Version 1.5.4 is a snapshot of mutt's unstable branch, and may be interesting to those brave souls who would like to play with the latest features. (Or want to help us to identify some bugs in that code.) -- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>
Due to the fact that I wanted to commit some changes to mutt-1.4 anyway, I wrote a new ebuild for mutt-1.4.1. Works fine on my ppc and x86. I'll close this bug.
