Debian Security Advisory DSA-1852-1                    security@xxxxxxxxxx
http://www.debian.org/security/                                 Nico Golde
August 7th, 2009                        http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package        : fetchmail
Vulnerability  : insufficient input validation
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2009-2666

It was discovered that fetchmail, a full-featured remote mail retrieval
and forwarding utility, is vulnerable to the "Null Prefix Attacks Against
SSL/TLS Certificates" recently published at the Blackhat conference.
This allows an attacker to perform undetected man-in-the-middle attacks
via a crafted ITU-T X.509 certificate with an injected null byte in the
subjectAltName or Common Name fields.

Note, as a fetchmail user you should always use strict certificate
validation through either these option combinations:
    sslcertck ssl sslproto ssl3    (for service on SSL-wrapped ports)
or
    sslcertck sslproto tls1        (for STARTTLS-based services)


For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.3.6-1etch2.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.3.9~rc2-4+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.3.9~rc2-6.


We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
