fetchmail 6.3.0 (not yet released officially):
+SECURITY FIX:
+* The POP3 UIDL code doesn't sufficiently validate/truncate the input
+ length, so a (malicious or compromised) server that sends UIDs longer
+ than 128 bytes can corrupt fetchmail's stack and crash fetchmail.
+ This vulnerability is remotely exploitable to inject code run in a
+ root shell. CVE Name: CAN-2005-XXXX (not yet assigned)
+
+OTHER CHANGES:
* Sunil Shetye's fix to force fetchsizelimit to 1 for APOP and RPOP.
* PopDel.py removed from contrib at author's request.
* Matthias Andree's fix for Sunil Shetye's fetch-split patch
