mutt-1.0pre3 released – fixes security problem

[ From Thomas Roessler
via the BUGTRAQ mailing list. ]

Mutt 1.0pre3 is out. This is another version from the release
candidate series. The reason for immediately releasing this version
is a buffer overflow in the text/enriched handler which can be
triggered by means of suitably-formatted e-mail messages. Thus, we
recommend you upgrade your mutt installations immediately.

If a complete upgrade to the new mutt version is not an option
for you, please apply the patch which can be found under the
following URL:

ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/patch-0.96.6i.tlr.text_enriched.1
