I was takling about this:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg00010.html

And the original changelog entry is in version 6.2.5-15

    - fixed buffer overrun in pop3 UIDs handling CAN-2005-2335
      http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-SA-2005-01.txt
      (closes: #212762)

Upstream made a second (better) patch and we applied it on version
6.2.5-16 (the changelog entry you quoted).
