Package name fetchmail
Date July 28th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:126
Affected versions 10.1, CS2.1, CS3.0, 10.2
Synopsis Updated fetchmail packages fix vulnerability

Problem Description

A buffer overflow was discovered in fetchmail's POP3 client which
could allow a malicious server to send a carefully crafted message
UID, causing fetchmail to crash or potentially execute arbitrary
code as the user running fetchmail.

The updated packages have been patched to address this problem.
