Insight
Joost Pol found a buffer overflow in the address handling code of mutt (a popular mail user agent). Even though this is a one byte overflow this is exploitable.
This has been fixed upstream in version 1.2.5.1 and 1.3.25. The relevant patch has been added to version 1.2.5-5 of the Debian package.
