3. Problem description:

Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility.

A buffer overflow was discovered in fetchmail's POP3 client.  A malicious
server could cause send a carefully crafted message UID and cause fetchmail
to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running
fetchmail.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the
name CAN-2005-2335 to this issue.

Users of fetchmail should update to this erratum package which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.
