Security Linux News for Aug 17, 2001

  • SuSE Security Announcement: fetchmail (Aug 17, 2001, 20:09)
    "Fetchmail is a tool for retrieving and forwarding mail. Two vulnerabilities in the code of fetchmail were found in the last weeks... Both vulnerabilities could be used to get remote access to the system with the privilege of the user running fetchmail. A temporary fix is not possible, so we suggest to install the new RPM on your system."

  • EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory: fetchmail-ssl memory overwrite vulnerability (Aug 17, 2001, 04:20)
    "While doing a routine security audit of the fetchmail package (named "fetchmail-ssl" in EnGarde), Salvatore Sanfilippo found two remotely exploitable bugs in both the imap and pop3 code. Lack of bounds checking may allow an attacker to write arbitrary data into memory. The attacker must have control of the mail server the client (using fetchmail) is attempting to contact in order to exploit this vulnerability."
