Synopsis:	Moderate: fetchmail security update
Issue date:	2007-06-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-1558

A flaw was found in the way fetchmail processed certain APOP authentication
requests. By sending certain responses when fetchmail attempted to
authenticate against an APOP server, a remote attacker could potentially
acquire certain portions of a user's authentication credentials.
