A flaw was discovered in mutt, a text-based mailreader. A specially crafted mail header could cause mutt to crash, leading to a denial of service condition.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.21-6.2+deb7u3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.23-2. We recommend that you upgrade your mutt packages.

Mutt is a sophisticated text-based Mail User Agent. Some highlights:
