Package        : fetchmail
Vulnerability  : null pointer dereference
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-4565

Matthias Andree discovered that fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP 
and IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder, can under certain circumstances 
attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and crash.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.3.6-1etch1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem was not present.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package.
