  A flaw was found in the way Mutt verified SSL certificates. When a server
  presented an SSL certificate chain, Mutt could ignore a server hostname
  check failure. A remote attacker able to get a certificate from a trusted
  Certificate Authority could use this flaw to trick Mutt into accepting a
  certificate issued for a different hostname, and perform man-in-the-middle
  attacks against Mutt's SSL connections. (CVE-2011-1429)

  All Mutt users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
  backported patch to correct this issue. All running instances of Mutt must
  be restarted for this update to take effect.");
