|
|
Fetchmail versions 6.2.4 and earlier can be crashed by sending a
|
|
specially-crafted email to a fetchmail user. This problem occurs because
|
|
Fetchmail does not properly allocate memory for long lines in an incoming
|
|
email.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fetchmail users who receive a malicious email may have their fetchmail
|
|
program crash.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of fetchmail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fetchmail users should upgrade to version 6.2.5 or later:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5"
|
|
# emerge ">=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5"</code>
|
