Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Update for fetchmail MDVSA-2011:107 (fetchmail)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'fetchmail'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'fetchmail'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in fetchmail:

fetchmail 4.6.3 through 6.3.16, when debug mode is enabled, does
not properly handle invalid characters in a multi-character locale,
which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption and application crash) via a crafted (1) message header or
(2) POP3 UIDL list (CVE-2010-1167). NOTE: This vulnerability did not
affect Mandriva Linux 2010.2.

fetchmail 5.9.9 through 6.3.19 does not properly limit the wait
time after issuing a (1) STARTTLS or (2) STLS request, which allows
remote servers to cause a denial of service (application hang)
by acknowledging the request but not sending additional packets
(CVE-2011-1947).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance
Program. The updated packages have been upgraded to the 6.3.20 version which
is not vulnerable to these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
fetchmail on Mandriva Linux 2009.0,
Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1/X86_64,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
