Slackware-10.2 ChangeLog (2007-01-24)

Wed Jan 24 14:15:07 CST 2007

patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.6-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
Upgraded to fetchmail-6.3.6. This fixes two security issues. First, a bug
introduced in fetchmail-6.3.5 could cause fetchmail to crash. However,
no stable version of Slackware ever shipped fetchmail-6.3.5. Second, a long
standing bug (reported by Isaac Wilcox) could cause fetchmail to send a
password in clear text or omit using TLS even when configured otherwise.
All fetchmail users are encouraged to consider using getmail, or to upgrade
to the new fetchmail packages.
