Debian has released updated packages to correct a vulnerability identified in GNU Mailutils. This flaw is due to a format string error in the "util_finish()" function that does not properly handle specially crafted "SEARCH" commands, which could be exploited by authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system.
