Vulnerability CVE-2011-1429
Published: 2011-03-16   Modified: 2012-02-13

Description:
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.
