Description Mark J. Cox 2005-07-21 12:41:05 UTC 
We were alerted today to a Debian bug report showing a flaw where a malicious
POP3 server could overflow a stack buffer in fetchmail.

Draft advisory at http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-SA-2005-01.txt

More details at end of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212762

Most likely also affects RHEL3 and RHEL2.1 (although code in RHEL2.1 is
substantially different).

Comment 6 Charlie Brady 2005-07-28 03:03:36 UTC 
Summary is wrong, CVE number is CAN-2005-2355, not CAN-2005-2335.
Comment 7 Charlie Brady 2005-07-28 03:06:41 UTC 
Sorry, I was wrong.  CAN-2005-2335 *is* correct. FC3 advisory was incorrect.
