Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2006-3242

Attack Impact:           denial of service

Description:
    According to a vendor security update based on hints from TAKAHASHI
    Tamotsu, a stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Mutt [1] mail
    user agent. The problem is in the browse_get_namespace() function in
    "imap/browse.c" which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of
    Service (DoS) or execute arbitrary code via long namespaces received
    from the IMAP server.
