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

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ There are no known workarounds at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All fetchmail users should upgrade to the latest version: +

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