Hi!

Upstream recently fixed a buffer overflow triggered by overly long
IMAP namespace strings sent from the IMAP server.

Advisory:
  http://secunia.com/advisories/20810
Patch:
  http://dev.mutt.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=mutt/.git;a=commitdiff;h=dc0272b749f0e2b102973b7ac43dbd3908507540

There is no CVE number yet unfortunately.

Thank you!

Martin
