[USN-520-1] fetchmail vulnerabilities

=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-520-1         September 26, 2007
fetchmail vulnerabilities
CVE-2007-1558, CVE-2007-4565
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  fetchmail                       6.3.2-2ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
  fetchmail                       6.3.4-1ubuntu4.2

Ubuntu 7.04:
  fetchmail                       6.3.6-1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to affect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Gaetan Leurent discovered a vulnerability in the APOP protocol based
on MD5 collisions. As fetchmail supports the APOP protocol, this
vulnerability can be used by attackers to discover a portion of the APOP
user's authentication credentials. (CVE-2007-1558)

Earl Chew discovered that fetchmail can be made to de-reference a NULL
pointer when contacting SMTP servers. This vulnerability can be used
by attackers who control the SMTP server to crash fetchmail and cause
a denial of service. (CVE-2007-4565)
