Insight
Insight
A flaw in fetchmail was discovered that allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and persistent mail failure) via a malformed message with long headers. The crash only occurred when fetchmail was called in '-v -v' mode (CVE-2008-2711). The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
