Summary
Ubuntu Update for Linux kernel vulnerabilities USN-405-1
Insight
Insight
It was discovered that fetchmail did not correctly require TLS negotiation in certain situations. This would result in a user's unencrypted password being sent across the network. If fetchmail has been configured to use the " sslproto tls1" , " sslcertck" , or " sslfingerprint" options with a server that does not correctly support TLS negotiation, this update may cause fetchmail to (correctly) abort authentication.
