Details

Steve Fosdick discovered a remote Denial of Service vulnerability in
fetchmail. When using fetchmail in ‘multidrop’ mode, a malicious email
server could cause a crash by sending an email without any headers.
Since fetchmail is commonly called automatically (with cron, for
example), this crash could go unnoticed.
