Insight
It was discovered that fetchmail did not correctly require TLS negotiation in certain situations. This would result in a user's unencrypted password being sent across the network.
If fetchmail has been configured to use the "
sslproto tls1"
,
"
sslcertck"
, or "
sslfingerprint"
options with a server that does not
correctly support TLS negotiation, this update may cause fetchmail to (correctly) abort authentication.
