NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mutt package and not the mutt package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In mutt and neomutt, PGP encryption does not use the --hidden-recipient mode which may leak the Bcc email header field by inferring from the recipients info.
