    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1852-1 [email protected] 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

    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update

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