Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0450
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0450)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'getmail' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0450 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'getmail' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0450 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The IMAP-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.0.0 through 4.43.0 does not
verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle
attackers to spoof IMAP servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted
certificate (CVE-2014-7273).

The IMAP-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.44.0 does not verify that the
server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field
of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof
IMAP servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate from
a recognized Certification Authority (CVE-2014-7274).

The POP3-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.0.0 through 4.44.0 does not
verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle
attackers to spoof POP3 servers and obtain sensitive information via a
crafted certificate (CVE-2014-7275).

Affected Software/OS:
'getmail' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
