RedHat: RHSA-2022-1964:01 Moderate: fetchmail security update
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 the user can
read it through their favorite mail client.
Security Fix(es):
* fetchmail: DoS or information disclosure when logging long messages
(CVE-2021-36386)
* fetchmail: STARTTLS session encryption bypassing (CVE-2021-39272)
