The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201006-12 (Fetchmail: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Fetchmail:
The sdump() function might trigger a heap-based buffer overflow     during the escaping of non-printable characters with the high bit set     from an X.509 certificate (CVE-2010-0562).
The vendor reported     that Fetchmail does not properly handle Common Name (CN) fields in     X.509 certificates that contain an ASCII NUL character. Specifically,     the processing of such fields is stopped at the first occurrence of a     NUL character. This type of vulnerability was recently discovered by     Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike (CVE-2009-2666).

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to connect with Fetchmail to a     specially crafted SSL-enabled server in verbose mode, possibly     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the     user running the application. NOTE: The issue is only existent on     platforms on which char is signed.
Furthermore, a remote attacker might employ a specially crafted X.509     certificate, containing a NUL character in the Common Name field to     conduct man-in-the-middle attacks on SSL connections made using     Fetchmail.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
