The remote Fedora 32 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2021-4205e1fc23 advisory.

  - rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox     unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields     (aka terminators of empty groups). A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory     consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons. (CVE-2021-3181)

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

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

  - rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (mailbox unavailability)     by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon     characters in RFC822 address fields (aka terminators of     empty groups). A small email message from the attacker     can cause large memory consumption, and the victim may     then be unable to see email messages from other     persons.(CVE-2021-3181)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:4181 advisory.

    Mutt is a low resource, highly configurable, text-based MIME e-mail client. Mutt supports most e-mail     storing formats, such as mbox and Maildir, as well as most protocols, including POP3 and IMAP.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: mutt (2.0.7). (BZ#1912614)

    Security Fix(es):

    * mutt: Incorrect handling of invalid initial IMAP responses could lead to an authentication attempt over     unencrypted connection (CVE-2020-28896)

    * mutt: Memory leak when parsing rfc822 group addresses (CVE-2021-3181)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4181 advisory.

  - 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)

  - rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox     unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields     (aka terminators of empty groups). A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory     consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons. (CVE-2021-3181)

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

The version of mutt installed on the remote host is prior to 1.5.21-29. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1892 advisory.

    Mutt before 1.14.3 allows an IMAP fcc/postpone man-in-the-middle attack via a PREAUTH response.
    (CVE-2020-14093)

    Mutt before 1.14.3 proceeds with a connection even if, in response to a GnuTLS certificate prompt, the     user rejects an expired intermediate certificate. (CVE-2020-14154)

    Mutt before 1.14.4 and NeoMutt before 2020-06-19 have a STARTTLS buffering issue that affects IMAP, SMTP,     and POP3. When a server sends a begin TLS response, the client reads additional data (e.g., from a man-     in-the-middle attacker) and evaluates it in a TLS context, aka response injection. (CVE-2020-14954)

    Mutt before 2.0.2 and NeoMutt before 2020-11-20 did not ensure that  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)

    rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox     unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields     (aka terminators of empty groups). A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory     consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons. (CVE-2021-3181)

    A flaw was found in mutt. When reading unencoded messages, mutt uses the line length from the untrusted     input without any validation. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious message, which leads to an     out-of-bounds read, causing data leaks that include fragments of other unrelated messages. (CVE-2022-1328)

The remote MiracleLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2021-2863:01 advisory.

    * mutt: Incorrect handling of invalid initial IMAP responses could lead to an     authentication attempt over unencrypted connection (CVE-2020-28896)
      * mutt: Memory leak when parsing rfc822 group addresses (CVE-2021-3181)

rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields (aka terminators of empty groups).

A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.2-1+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your mutt packages.
