Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55908 |
Category: | Debian Local Security Checks |
Title: | Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-900-3) |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'fetchmail, fetchmail-ssl' package(s) announced via the DSA-900-3 advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'fetchmail, fetchmail-ssl' package(s) announced via the DSA-900-3 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Due to restrictive dependency definition for fetchmail-ssl 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 fetchmailconf 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 of fetchmail and in version 5.9.11-6.3 of fetchmail-ssl. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5-12sarge3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5.4-1. We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package. Affected Software/OS: 'fetchmail, fetchmail-ssl' package(s) on Debian 3.0, Debian 3.1. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
