Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:823
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:823. Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility. A bug was found in the way the fetchmailconf utility program writes configuration files. The default behavior of fetchmailconf is to write a configuration file which may be world readable for a short period of time. This configuration file could provide passwords to a local malicious attacker within the short window before fetchmailconf sets secure permissions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-3088 to this issue. Users of fetchmail are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch which resolves this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-823.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
