-fetchmail-SA-2021-01: DoS or information disclosure logging long messages
-
-Topics: fetchmail denial of service or information disclosure when logging long messages
-
-Author: Matthias Andree
-Version: 1.1
-Announced: 2021-07-28
-Type: missing variable initialization can cause read from bad memory
- locations
-Impact: fetchmail logs random information, or segfaults and aborts,
- stalling inbound mail
-Danger: low

-CVE Name: CVE-2021-36386
-URL: https://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-SA-2021-01.txt
-Project URL: https://www.fetchmail.info/
-
-Affects: - fetchmail releases up to and including 6.4.19
-
-Not affected: - fetchmail releases 6.4.20 and newer
-
-Corrected in: c546c829 Git commit hash
-
- 2021-07-28 fetchmail 6.4.20 release tarball

-
-0. Release history
-==================
-
-2021-07-07 initial report to maintainer
-2021-07-28 1.0 release
-2021-07-28 1.1 update Git commit hash with correction
-
-
-1. Background
-=============
-
-fetchmail is a software package to retrieve mail from remote POP3, IMAP,
-ETRN or ODMR servers and forward it to local SMTP, LMTP servers or
-message delivery agents. fetchmail supports SSL and TLS security layers
-through the OpenSSL library, if enabled at compile time and if also
-enabled at run time, in both SSL/TLS-wrapped mode on dedicated ports as
-well as in-band-negotiated "STARTTLS" and "STLS" modes through the
-regular protocol ports.
-
-
-2. Problem description and Impact
-=================================
-
-Fetchmail has long had support to assemble log/error messages that are
-generated piecemeal, and takes care to reallocate the output buffer as needed.
-In the reallocation case, i. e. when long log messages are assembled that can
-stem from very long headers, and on systems that have a varargs.h/stdarg.h
-interface (all modern systems), fetchmail's code would fail to reinitialize
-the va_list argument to vsnprintf.
-
-The exact effects depend on the verbose mode (how many -v are given) of
-fetchmail, computer architecture, compiler, operating system and
-configuration. On some systems, the code just works without ill effects, some
-systems log a garbage message (potentially disclosing sensitive information),
-some systems log literally "(null)", some systems trigger SIGSEGV (signal
-#11), which crashes fetchmail, causing a denial of service on fetchmail's end.
-
-
-3. Solution
-===========
-
-Install fetchmail 6.4.20 or newer.
-
-The fetchmail source code is available from
-<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/>.
-
-Distributors are encouraged to review the NEWS file and move forward to
-6.4.20, rather than backport individual security fixes, because doing so
-routinely misses other fixes crucial to fetchmail's proper operation,
-for which no security announcements are issued, or documentation,
-or translation updates.
-
-Fetchmail 6.4.X releases have been made with a focus on unchanged user and
-program interfaces so as to avoid disruptions when upgrading from 6.3.Z or
-6.4.X to 6.4.Y with Y > X. Care was taken to not change the interface
-incompatibly.
