Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59091
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-405-1 (fetchmail)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to fetchmail
announced via advisory USN-405-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

It was discovered that fetchmail did not correctly require TLS
negotiation in certain situations. This would result in a user's
unencrypted password being sent across the network.

If fetchmail has been configured to use the sslproto tls1,
sslcertck, or sslfingerprint options with a server that does not
correctly support TLS negotiation, this update may cause fetchmail to
(correctly) abort authentication.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
fetchmail 6.2.5-13ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
fetchmail 6.3.2-2ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
fetchmail 6.3.4-1ubuntu4.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
