OpenPKG Security Advisory OpenPKG-SA-2006.013 - According to a vendor security update based on hints from TAKAHASHI Tamotsu, a stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Mutt [1] mail user agent. The problem is in the browse_get_namespace() function in "imap/browse.c" which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or execute arbitrary code via long namespaces received from the IMAP server.
