DESCRIPTION
 Fetchmail is a popular mail retrieval and forwarding utility.
 
 Stefan Esser discovered[1] a buffer overflow vulnerability in
 fetchmail  versions prior to 6.1.3 (inclusive) that can be exploited
 remotelly with the use of specially crafted mail messages. By
 exploiting this the attacker can crash fetchmail or execute arbitrary
 code with the privileges of the user running it.

 this problem.


SOLUTION

 restarted in order to run the new version.
