Fedora 12: 2010-9234 High: OpenSSH Security Enhancements

fedora
Calendar Grey September 4, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The Fetchmail upgrade for Fedora 11 resolves an SSL vulnerability. To implement the updates successfully, restart the service.
If fetchmail is running in daemon mode, it must be restarted for this update to take effect (use the "fetchmail --quit" command to stop the fetchmail process).

Summary

Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended

for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections.

Fetchmail supports every remote-mail protocol currently in use on the

Internet (POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all IMAPs, ESMTP ETRN, IPv6,

and IPSEC) for retrieval. Then Fetchmail forwards the mail through

SMTP so you can read it through your favorite mail client.

Install fetchmail if you need to retrieve mail over SLIP or PPP

connections.

If fetchmail is running in daemon mode, it must be restarted for this update to

take effect (use the "fetchmail --quit" command to stop the fetchmail process).
