The issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a command line argument for the file to display. This can lead to a disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be carried out locally.

The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in certain packages of Red Hat Linux and Debian GNU/Linux operating systems, which can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. A buffer overflow in Mutt and possibly other programs that use Mutt code allows a remote malicious IMAP server to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted folder.
