Ubuntu: fetchmail vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

It was discovered that fetchmail did not correctly require TLS negotiation in certain situations. This would result in a user's unencrypted password being sent across the network.If fetchmail has been configured to use the "sslproto tls1", "sslcertck", or "sslfingerprint" options with a server that does not correctly support TLS negotiation, this update may cause fetchmail to (correctly) abort authentication.
