Package : fetchmail
Problem type : buffer overflow
Debian-specific: no
Wolfram Kleff found a problem in fetchmail: it would crash when
processing emails with extremely long headers. The problem was
a buffer overflow in the header parser which could be exploited.
This has been fixed in version 5.3.3-1.3, and we recommend that
you upgrade your fetchmail package immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
