Problem Description Heap-based buffer overflow in fetchmail does not account for the "@" character when determining buffer lengths for local addresses, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a header with a large number of local addresses. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm 3. Solution The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand. 4.
