Synopsis ========
Fetchmail versions 6.2.4 and earlier can be crashed by sending a specially-crafted email to a fetchmail user.
Background ==========
Fetchmail is a utility that retrieves and forwards mail from remote systems using IMAP, POP, and other protocols.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- net-mail/fetchmail <= 6.2.4 >= 6.2.5
Description ===========
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.
Impact ======
Fetchmail users who receive a malicious email may have their fetchmail program crash.
Workaround ==========
While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
Resolution ==========
Fetchmail users should upgrade to version 6.2.5 or later:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5" # emerge ">=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5"
