RHSA-2011:0959-01 -- Redhat mutt

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:500169Date: (C)2012-01-31   (M)2021-09-11
Class: PATCHFamily: unix




Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent. 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. 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.

Platform:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
