Package : fetchmail
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2002-1365 (confirmed)
Stefan Esser of e-matters discovered a buffer overflow in fetchmail,
an SSL enabled POP3, APOP and IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder. When
fetchmail retrieves a mail all headers that contain addresses are
searched for local addresses. If a hostname is missing, fetchmail
appends it but doesn't reserve enough space for it. This heap
overflow can be used by remote attackers to crash it or to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running fetchmail.
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 5.9.11-6.2 of fetchmail and fetchmail-ssl.
For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 5.3.3-4.3.
For the current unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been
fixed in version 6.2.0-1 of fetchmail and fetchmail-ssl.
We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail packages.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
