Ofcourse it was fixed. You don't think debian would distribute a qpopper
package with known r00t security holes in it for over a year do you ...

Most of the 2.4 and early 2.5 qpopper packages had a license
that made it impossible to include it with Debian, so Debian shipped
with a fixed 2.3 instead.
