Debian Security Advisory DSA 900-1 - Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconfig 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.
1fab93074bcf0d6c1ff84696b4f9e765f5d00b58003a806527e17411b3e97f72Ubuntu Security Notice USN-215-1 - Thomas Wolff and Miloslav Trmac discovered a race condition in the fetchmailconf program. The output configuration file was initially created with insecure permissions, and secure permissions were applied after writing the configuration into the file. During this time, the file was world readable on a standard system (unless the user manually tightened his umask setting), which could expose email passwords to local users.
