Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended for
use over on-demand TCP/IP links such as SLIP and PPP connections. A bug
has been found in the header parsing code in versions of Fetchmail prior
to 6.2.0.

The bug allows a remote attacker to crash Fetchmail and potentially execute
arbitrary code by sending a carefully crafted email which is parsed by
Fetchmail.

All users of Fetchmail are advised to upgrade to the errata packages
containing a backported fix which corrects this issue.
