-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : fetchmail SUMMARY : Remote vulnerability in fetchmail DATE : 2001-09-05 16:31:00 ID : CLA-2001:419 RELEVANT RELEASES : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Fetchmail is a program used to retrieve email from POP and IMAP servers. Salvatore Sanfilippo did an audit and found a remote vulnerability in fetchmail that allows a remote attacker to write arbitrary data into memory. To take advantage of this problem, an attacker has to have control over the mail server being queried by the fetchmail process. SOLUTION All fetchmail users should upgrade. IMPORTANT: if fetchmail is running as a daemon, it will have to be restarted after applying the update in order to run the new version.
