CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:0385-01
Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended
for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections.
A flaw was found in the way fetchmail processed certain APOP authentication
requests. By sending certain responses when fetchmail attempted to
authenticate against an APOP server, a remote attacker could potentially
acquire certain portions of a user’s authentication credentials.
(CVE-2007-1558)
All users of fetchmail should upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
