Synopsis
========

fetchmail is susceptible to a buffer overflow resulting in a Denial of
Service or arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

fetchmail is a utility that retrieves and forwards mail from remote
systems using IMAP, POP, and other protocols.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-mail/fetchmail < 6.2.5.2 >= 6.2.5.2

Description
===========

fetchmail does not properly validate UIDs coming from a POP3 mail
server. The UID is placed in a fixed length buffer on the stack, which
can be overflown.

Impact
======

Very long UIDs returned from a malicious or compromised POP3 server can
cause fetchmail to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service, or allow
arbitrary code to be placed on the stack.

Workaround
==========

There are no known workarounds at this time.

Resolution
==========

All fetchmail users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5.2"
