The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in Mutt before 1.10.1 and NeoMutt before 2018-07-16. imap/message.c has a stack-     based buffer overflow for a FETCH response with a long INTERNALDATE field. (CVE-2018-14350)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Mutt, a text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, PGP and threading, potentially leading to code execution, denial of service or information disclosure when connecting to a malicious mail/NNTP server.

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.

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