"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2011-711:01 advisory.

    Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based MIME mail client.  Mutt is highly configurable, and is well
    suited to the mail power user with advanced features like key bindings, keyboard macros, mail threading,
    regular expression searches and a powerful pattern matching language for selecting groups of messages.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-1429
    Mutt does not verify that the smtps server hostname matches the domain name of the subject of an X.509
    certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof an SSL SMTP server via an arbitrary
    certificate, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3766.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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