In mutt before 2.3.2, the imap_auth_gss security level is mishandled.

According to the versions of the mutt packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    mutt before 2.3.2 sometimes truncates the hash_passwd by one byte for IMAP auth_cram MD5     digest.(CVE-2026-43860)

    mutt before 2.3.2 has an infinite loop in data_object_to_stream in crypt-gpgme.c.(CVE-2026-43863)

    mutt before 2.3.2 has a show_sig_summary NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2026-43864)

    mutt before 2.3.2 sometimes uses strfcpy instead of memcpy for the IMAP auth_cram MD5     digest.(CVE-2026-43859)

    mutt before 2.3.2 does not check for '\0' in url_pct_decode.(CVE-2026-43861)

    In mutt before 2.3.2, the imap_auth_gss security level is mishandled.(CVE-2026-43862)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS mutt security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
