| Doc Text: |
Prior to this update, mutt did not correctly parse certificate files when accessing accounts through IMAP and POP3 protocols. Consequently, mutt terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when attempting to access an IMAP or POP3 account. This update fixes the parsing process and accessing an IMAP or POP3 account now functions as intended.

proposed patch to parse certificates file securely
The previous patch contained off-by-one error, this one seems to work fine for some time in Fedora.

patch to parse certificates file securely
Upstream fixed this issue a bit differently, this is upstream's patch.
Fixed in commit http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/mutt/commit/?h=rhel-6.6&id=d5f692c7abf9d2ab32558e21f10c45ba7844def9 (build mutt-1.5.20-5.20091214hg736b6a.el6). Yes, I use mutt.x86_64 (RHEL package 5:1.5.20-4.20091214hg736b6a.el6_5) and I can confirm it doesn't crash anymore.
