Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : fetchmail (MDKSA-2002:063)

high Nessus Plugin ID 13964

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

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.

Solution

Update the affected fetchmail, fetchmail-daemon and / or fetchmailconf packages.
