Bug 838379 – <mail-client/mutt-2.2.3: buffer overread in uuencode decoding

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description John Helmert III 2022-04-14 23:53:34 UTC]

From URL:

"This is a bug-fix release, addressing CVE-2022-1328: a buffer overread in the
uuencoded decoder routine.  For more details please see GitLab ticket 404:
<https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues/404>.  The commit fixing this issue
is at <https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/commit/e5ed080c00e59701ca62ef9b2a6d2612ebf765a5>

Also fixed were a possible integer overflow issue in the general iconv and
rfc2047-conversion iconv functions.  These are not believed to be exploitable.

A huge thank you to Tavis Ormandy for reporting these issues, suggesting a
patch for the iconv issue, helping test, and providing constructive feedback.
Hurray for the white-hats!"

Please bump to 2.2.3.

Thanks! Just an overread, so no GLSA. All done!
