The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201810-07 (Mutt, NeoMutt: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mutt, and NeoMutt.
      Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted mail       message or connect to malicious mail server using Mutt or NeoMutt,       possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or directory traversal       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

USN-3719-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Mutt. Unfortunately, the fixes were not correctly applied to the packaging for Mutt in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update corrects the oversight.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details :

It was discovered that Mutt incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mutt, a sophisticated text-based Mail User Agent, resulting in denial of service, stack-based buffer overflow, arbitrary command execution, and directory traversal flaws.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.23-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mutt packages.

Kevin J. McCarthy reports :

Fixes a remote code injection vulnerability when 'subscribing' to an IMAP mailbox, either via $imap_check_subscribed, or via the <subscribe> function in the browser menu. Mutt was generating a 'mailboxes' command and sending that along to the muttrc parser.
However, it was not escaping '`', which executes code and inserts the result. This would allow a malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary code (for $imap_check_subscribed).

Fixes POP body caching path traversal vulnerability.

Fixes IMAP header caching path traversal vulnerability.
