  - mutt before 2.3.2 sometimes truncates the hash_passwd by one byte for IMAP auth_cram MD5 digest.

  - In mutt before 2.3.2, the imap_auth_gss security level is mishandled. (CVE-2026-43862)

  - mutt before 2.3.2 has an infinite loop in data_object_to_stream in crypt-gpgme.c. (CVE-2026-43863)

  - mutt before 2.3.2 has a show_sig_summary NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2026-43864)
