Package : fetchmail
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2005-3088
Debian Bug : 336096
Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconfig program which is
provided as part of fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail
gatherer/forwarder, creates the new configuration in an insecure
fashion that can lead to leaking passwords for mail accounts to local
users.
This update also fixes a regression in the package for stable caused
by the last security update.
For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 5.9.11-6.3.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 6.2.5-12sarge3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 6.2.5.4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package.
