Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in mutt, a console email client.

CVE-2020-14093

Mutt allowed an IMAP fcc/postpone man-in-the-middle attack via a PREAUTH response.

CVE-2020-14954

Mutt had a STARTTLS buffering issue that affected IMAP, SMTP, and POP3. When a server had sent a ‘begin TLS’ response, the client read additional data (e.g., from a man-in-the-middle attacker) and evaluated it in a TLS context, aka ‘response injection.’

In Debian jessie, the mutt source package builds two variants of mutt:
mutt and mutt-patched.

The previous package version (1.5.23-3+deb8u2, DLA-2268-1) provided fixes for the issues referenced above, but they were only applied for the mutt-patched package build, not for the (vanilla) mutt package build.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.23-3+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your mutt packages.

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