    Summary: mutt security update

    Details: Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. Security Fix(es): rfc822.c in Mutt through 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailbox unavailability) by sending email messages with sequences of semicolon characters in RFC822 address fields (aka terminators of empty groups). A small email message from the attacker can cause large memory consumption, and the victim may then be unable to see email messages from other persons.(CVE-2021-3181)
