  fetchmail when running in -v -v mode via malformed mail messages
  with long headers (LP: #240549)

* SECURITY UPDATE: SSL cert validation bypass via NULL bytes.
  - add 06_cert_0_byte.patch, thanks to Nico Golde.
  - CVE-2009-2666

10. By Jamie Strandboge on 2007-09-25

* SECURITY UPDATE: DoS via NULL pointer dereference when SMTP refuses to
  send certain warning messages
* added 05_CVE-2007-4565.dpatch to sink.c to verify msg is not NULL
* SECURITY UPDATE: Due to a design flaw in the APOP protocol, remote
  attackers may be able to acquire a portion of a user's authentication
  credentials using man-in-the-middle techniques.
* added 06_CVE-2007-1558.dpatch. This patch adds notes about APOP's
  limitations as well as updating pop3.c to more strictly validate the
  presented challenge for RFC-822 conformity. This change to pop3.c does
  not fix the APOP design flaw, but does make attacks against APOP somewhat
  more difficult.
