Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.13-2
Severity: normal
The latest upgrade presented this as its NEWS.Debian:
fetchmail (6.3.13-1) unstable; urgency=low
This includes all changes since 6.3.6
Fix KPOP regression.
Fix manual page: --sslcheck -> --sslcertck
Make the APOP challenge parser more distrustful to prevent MiM attacks.
Add sslcommonname option as a way to work around misconfigured upstream SSL
servers.
Fixed CVE-2007-4565: Denial of service.
Fixed CVE-2008-2711: Denial of service.
When expunging, mark the right messages as seen to avoid message loss in
"keep flush" configurations.
SSL fix: close memory leak when SSL connection fails.
Make the comparison of the SSL fingerprints case insensitive, to ease its
use.
The sleeping at/awakened at messages appear in logfiles and syslog only if
verbose mode is enabled.
fetchmail only requests IPv6 addresses via name service if at least one is
configured on the local host, likewise for IPv4.
If the server name contains "yahoo.com", offers the "ID" capability, and
we're polling via IMAP, send an ID ("guid" "1") transaction first, ignoring its
result.
Fetchmail no longer drops permanently undelivered messages by default, to
match historic documentation.
There is a new "softbounce" global option that prevents the deletion of
messages that have not been forwarded. It defaults to "true" for fetchmail
6.3.X in order to match historic documentation.
Fixed CVE-2009-2666: SSL NUL prefix impersonation attack through NULs in a
part of a X.509 certificate's CommonName and subjectAltName fields.
