The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:020 (mutt).

Mutt is a text-based Mail User Agent (MUA).
The IMAP-code of mutt is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that can be exploited by a malicious IMAP-server to crash mutt or even execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running mutt.

There is no temporary fix known.

Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command ‘rpm -Fhv file.rpm’ to apply the update.
