--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-613 2005-07-21 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : fetchmail Version : 6.2.5 Release : 7.fc4.1 Summary : A remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility. Description : Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections. Fetchmail supports every remote-mail protocol currently in use on the Internet (POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all IMAPs, ESMTP ETRN, IPv6, and IPSEC) for retrieval. Then Fetchmail forwards the mail through SMTP so you can read it through your favorite mail client. Install fetchmail if you need to retrieve mail over SLIP or PPP connections. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: A buffer overflow was discovered in fetchmail's POP3 client. A malicious server could cause fetchmail to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2355 to this issue. All fetchmail users should upgrade to the updated package, which fixes this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Jul 21 2005 Miloslav Trmac <mitr@xxxxxxxxxx> - 6.2.5-7.fc4.1 - Fix CAN-2005-2355 (#163819, patch by Ludwig Nussel) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/ e00eaabfa00150c2001ca61a58a7845e SRPMS/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.src.rpm 4528439141789d049cb2094162c92406 ppc/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.ppc.rpm 6bdcf129726571d6e3e2536c3dcc27a3 ppc/debug/fetchmail-debuginfo-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.ppc.rpm 2bebf8c785e918bc43e590a2f029ba48 x86_64/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.x86_64.rpm 3c590e5aa4af40cfa80590ce23b16958 x86_64/debug/fetchmail-debuginfo-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.x86_64.rpm 469b305b86b25c292876877432ce5ead i386/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.i386.rpm 2635dfe61df68b358fb61803a7d12ca1 i386/debug/fetchmail-debuginfo-6.2.5-7.fc4.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
