Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 900-2 (fetchmail)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update to fetchmail announced via advisory DSA 900-2. Due to restrictive dependency definition the updated fetchmailconf package couldn't be installed on the old stable distribution (woody) together with fetchmail-ssl. Hence, this update loosens it, so that the update can be pulled in. For completeness we're including the original advisory text: Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconfig program which is provided as part of fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder, creates the new configuration in an insecure fashion that can lead to leaking passwords for mail accounts to local users. This update also fixes a regression in the package for stable caused by the last security update. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.9.11-6.4.;; This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-900)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55908).
