--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-614 2005-07-21 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : fetchmail Version : 6.2.5 Release : 7.fc3.1 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) * Wed Mar 16 2005 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@xxxxxxxxxx> 6.2.5-7 - stop using one of the libkrb5 private functions --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/ 550fbe893b901e7fc028765819409b8a SRPMS/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc3.1.src.rpm 14376533cb1e770d8019960596f29dd1 x86_64/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 372ec66fb81998200b4ba0228f77b943 x86_64/debug/fetchmail-debuginfo-6.2.5-7.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 62947fe15ecc12933cbcdbdfcb87412b i386/fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc3.1.i386.rpm 69b34d188aaa91ca770789eb582dc8ca i386/debug/fetchmail-debuginfo-6.2.5-7.fc3.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
