GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200212-3

PACKAGE : fetchmail
SUMMARY═: buffer overflow
DATE ══ : 2002-12-15 13:12 UTC

- From e-matters advisory:

"In the light of recent discoveries we reaudited Fetchmail and found
another bufferoverflow within the default configuration. 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. 
Depending on the configuration this allows a remote root compromise."

emerge fetchmail
emerge clean
