  Fetchmail version 6.3.9 enabled all SSL workarounds (SSL_OP_ALL) which
  contains a switch to disable a countermeasure against certain attacks
  against block ciphers that permit guessing the initialization vectors,
  providing that an attacker can make the application (fetchmail) encrypt
  some data for him -- which is not easily the case (aka a BEAST attack)
  (CVE-2011-3389).

  A denial of service flaw was found in the way Fetchmail, a remote mail
  retrieval and forwarding utility, performed base64 decoding of certain
  NTLM server responses. Upon sending the NTLM authentication request,
  Fetchmail did not check if the received response was actually part
  of NTLM protocol exchange, or server-side error message and session
  abort. A rogue NTML server could use this flaw to cause fetchmail
  executable crash (CVE-2012-3482).

  This advisory provides the latest version of fetchmail (6.3.22)
  which is not vulnerable to these issues.");
