Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-11-20 18:43:30 UTC
"Hello Mutt Users,

I've just released version 2.0.2.  Instructions for downloading are available at <http://www.mutt.org/download.html>, or the tarball can be directly downloaded from <http://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/>. Please take the time to verify the signature file against my public key.

This is an important bug fix release, addressing CVE-2020-28896.  Mutt had incorrect error handling when initially connecting to an IMAP server, which could result in an attempt to authenticate without enabling TLS.

Thanks to Gabriel Salles-Loustau for discovering the problem, and including detailed information and a reproducing example in his report!

Also thanks to Richard Russon for coordinating the release with Mutt.

-Kevin"

Let us know when ready to stable, thank you for the quick bump!
Comment 4 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2020-11-20 19:06:32 UTC
mutt-2.0.2 is effectively equal to 2.0.0 with addition of a small type-fix (not affecting Linux) and the small bugfix for the CVE.  mutt-2.0.0 was introduced Nov 9.  Considering 2.0.2 as a behaviour controlled close to indentical to 2.0.0, normal stabilisation rules would allow earliest stabilisation Dec 9th.

We don't need to apply the normal rules for security bugs, it's usually ASAP, provided you're satisfied it works.

Given this has just come off the back of 2.0.0, we'll give it a few days, see if any bugs pop up, and go from there?
Comment 6 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2020-11-21 08:56:44 UTC
I've been using it non-stop since it's introduction, I think it's OK for stabilisation, but let's give it the weekend to see if anything pops up.
