Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Fetchmail, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions or cause a denial of service.
The first issue is due to a NULL pointer dereference error when rejecting a message sent to an MDA, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service.
The second issue is due to various errors where where logins are used omitting the necessary protection through SSL/TLS, which could be exploited by attackers to potentially gain knowledge of sensitive information.
