Hence, this update loosens it, so that the update can be pulled in. For completeness we're including the original advisory text: Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconfig program which is provided as part of fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder, creates the new configuration in an insecure fashion that can lead to leaking passwords for mail accounts to local users. This update also fixes a regression in the package for stable caused by the last security update. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.9.11-6.4. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5-12sarge3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5.4-1. We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
