Package name fetchmail
Date December 23rd, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:236
Affected versions 10.1, CS3.0, 10.2, 2006.0

Problem Description

Fetchmail before 6.3.1 and before 6.2.5.5, when configured for
multidrop mode, allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (application
crash) by sending messages without headers from upstream mail
servers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
