Insight

Insight

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.
