Summary: mutt security update

Details: Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems.\r\n\r\n Security Fix(es):\r\n\r\n Mutt before 2.0.2 and NeoMutt before 2020-11-20 did not ensure that $ssl_force_tls was processed if an IMAP server's initial server response was invalid. The connection was not properly closed, and the code could continue attempting to authenticate. This could result in authentication credentials being exposed on an unencrypted connection, or to a machine-in-the-middle.(CVE-2020-28896)\r\n\r\n
