			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		Linux: fetchmail remote vulnerabilities in multidrop mode
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2002-051.0
Issue date: 		2002 November 21
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Several buffer overflows have been found in fetchmail. These
	bugs may be remotely exploited if fetchmail is running in
	multidrop mode.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm
					prior to fetchmailconf-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm
					prior to fetchmailconf-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm
					prior to fetchmailconf-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm
					prior to fetchmailconf-6.1.0-3.i386.rpm


3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
