Amazon Linux AMI : fetchmail (ALAS-2012-132)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 69622

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

Fetchmail 5.0.8 through 6.3.21, when using NTLM authentication in debug mode, allows remote NTLM servers to (1) cause a denial of service (crash and delayed delivery of inbound mail) via a crafted NTLM response that triggers an out-of-bounds read in the base64 decoder, or (2) obtain sensitive information from memory via an NTLM Type 2 message with a crafted Target Name structure, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Solution

Run 'yum update fetchmail' to update your system.
