Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconfig program which is provided as part of fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder, creates the new configuration in an insecure fashion that can lead to leaking passwords for mail accounts to local users.  This update also fixes a regression in the package for stable caused by the last security update.  For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.9.11-6.3.
