Package name fetchmail
Date October 1st, 2002
Advisory ID MDKSA-2002:063
Affected versions 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, CS1.0
Synopsis Updated fetchmail packages fix various vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Several buffer overflows and a boundary check error were discovered in
all fetchmail versions prior to 6.1.0 by e-matters GmbH. These problems
are vulnerable to crashes and/or arbitrary code execution by remote
attackers if fetchmail is running in multidrop mode. The code
execution would be done with the same privilege as the user running
fetchmail.
