EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : mutt (EulerOS-SA-2021-1690)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 148056

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - Mutt before 2.0.2 and NeoMutt before 2020-11-20 did not ensure that $ssl_force_tls was processed if an IMAP server's initial server response was invalid. The connection was not properly closed, and the code could continue attempting to authenticate. This could result in authentication credentials being exposed on an unencrypted connection, or to a machine-in-the-middle.(CVE-2020-28896)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mutt package.
