It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file.

Mutt supports color, threading, arbitrary key remapping, and a lot of customization. Problem description: gd < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > - SECURITY Fix: Xavier Roche has discovered a vulnerability in the GD Graphics Library, caused due to an infinite loop error within the handling of GIF images.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2006-2906 to this issue. mutt < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 > - SECURITY Fix: TAKAHASHI Tamotsu has reported a vulnerability in Mutt, caused due to a boundary error within the "browse_get_namespace()" function in browse.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when processing an overly long namespace from the IMAP server.
