Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file
mutt-1.5.13/account.c (near the end of the file):
void mutt_account_unsetpass (ACCOUNT* account)
{
account->flags &= !M_ACCT_PASS;
}
Since the flags field is used as a collection of separate bit, this is
a bug in the program. Since M_ACCT_PASS equals 8, !M_ACCT_PASS equals
0 and the 'mutt_account_unsetpass' function erroneously clears all
flags instead of only M_ACCT_PASS.
This bug can be fixed by using bitwise negation instead of logical
negation:
account->flags &= ~M_ACCT_PASS;
I hope this helps,
Jochen
