Just curious, we see a security bulletin that fetchmail should be upgraded to avoid a malformed hostname threat.
I could wget the new fetchmail .deb with my flimsy modem but I see it depends on libc6 that is newer than the one on the sid cd set of 2002.10.10 that I have installed. If I also get the new libc6 that probably means I got to make a lot of other changes too which means I really should have a new CD set? Which means I have to go to town and ask my friend to burn a new set which is something I didn't want to have to do more than once a year. So I am a sitting duck for a malformed mail message? Perhaps as at least my other pal runs an spamassassin and exim filter on my mail before I download it with fetchmail, perhaps I can change a rule in .exim/filter to protect myself? Or maybe something can be done in fetchmailrc? P.S. on http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/fetchmail-ssl.html it says it depends on "fetchmail-common (= 6.1.2-1) (NOT AVAILABLE)" Does that mean one is screwed either way? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
