CVE-2007-1268: Mutt

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Mutt 1.5.13 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents Mutt from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
