Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72034
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:048 (mutt)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to mutt
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:048.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in mutt:

Mutt does not verify that the smtps server hostname matches the
domain name of the subject of an X.509 certificate, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof an SSL SMTP server via an
arbitrary certificate, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3766
(CVE-2011-1429).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2010.1, 2011.

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
