| Summary: Full-Featured POP and IMAP Mail Retrieval Daemon | |
Fetchmail is a robust and well-documented remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it to your local machine's delivery system, so it can be read by normal mail user agents, such as mutt, elm, pine, (x)emacs/gnus, or mailx. fetchmailconf, an interactive GUI configurator suitable for end-users, is included in the fetchmailconf package.
GPL-2.0-or-later
* Tue Nov 26 2024 [email protected]
- Upgrade to 6.5.1
* Drop two wolfSSL compile-time checks that were for older 6.4 or for future
7.0 releases and broke compilation with wolfSSL 5.7.4.
Fixes https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282413#c4
* Use %p instead of non-portable %#p for one wolfSSL-related diagnostic message
(FreeBSD defines %#p to be %p, on many other platforms it's undefined
behavior).
* Add regex_helper.c to list of files that contain translatable strings,
which contains two strings we missed to translate.
* Simplify EVP_MD_fetch API detection ("like OpenSSL 3" vs. "like OpenSSL 1")
for version switch and base it on the claimed OpenSSL version of the crypto
SSL, which works for LibreSSL (claims OpenSSL 2) and wolfSSL alike.
* Several translations added
- Rebased fetchmail-6.3.8-smtp_errors.patch
- Rebased fetchmail-FAQ-list-gmail-options-including-oauthbearer-and-app.patch

- Rebased fetchmailconf-no-more-future.patch
* Thu Apr 04 2024 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.38:
* Tighten OpenSSL and wolfSSL version requirements again. See
README.SSL.
* Distributors providing older versions that they backport
security fixes for may want to patch socket.c but remember
to redirect support to your distribution's support channels.
The fetchmail maintainer only supports functionally
unmodified builds with publicly available SSL/TLS library
versions.
* fetchmail will refuse to build against OpenSSL 1.0.2 older
than 1.0.2u, or wolfSSL older than 5.6.2. It will warn about
OpenSSL older than 3.0.9, or between 3.1.0 and 3.1.4,
or wolfSSL older than 5.6.6.

- update to 6.4.30:
* Breaking changes:
- Bump wolfSSL minimum required version to 5.2.0 to pull in
security fix.
* Changes:
- Using OpenSSL 1.* before 1.1.1n elicits a compile-time
warning.
- Using OpenSSL 3.* before 3.0.2 elicits a compile-time
warning.
- configure.ac was tweaked in order to hopefully fix
cross-compilation issues report, and different patch
suggested
* Translations.:

* Wed Jan 12 2022 [email protected]
- fix [bsc#1194203]:
* Always create fetchmail group, even if the user is already
present, as a leftover from Leap 15.2 upgrade. This may happen
also if user is messing with groups/users directly or upgrading
from even an older fetchmail versions.
* Mon Dec 27 2021 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.26:
* When using wolfSSL 5.0.0, work around a bug that appears to hit
wolfSSL when receiving handshake records while still in
SSL_peek(). Workaround is to read 1 byte and cache it, then
call SSL_peek() again. This affects only some servers.
* New serbian translation.
* Sat Dec 11 2021 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.25:
* 6.4.24's workaround for OpenSSL 1.0.2's X509_V_FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST flag
contained a typo and would not kick in properly.
* Library and/or rpath setting from configure.ac was fixed.
* Added an example systemd unit file and instructions to contrib/systemd/
which runs fetchmail as a daemon with 5-minute poll intervals.
* fetchmail can now be used with wolfSSL 5's OpenSSL compatibility layer,
see INSTALL and README.SSL. This is considered experimental.
Feedback solicited.
* Bison 3.8 dropped yytoknum altogether, breaking compilation due to a
warning workaround. Remove the cast of yytoknum to void. This may cause
a compiler warning to reappear with older Bison versions.
* OpenSSL 1.0.2: Workaround for systems that keep the expired DST Root CA X3
certificate in its trust store because OpenSSL by default prefers the
untrusted certificate and fails.
* For common ssh-based IMAP PREAUTH setups (i. e. those that use a plugin
- no matter its contents - and that set auth ssh), change the STARTTLS
error message to suggest sslproto '' instead.
This is a commonly reported issue after the CVE-2021-39272 fix in 6.4.22.
- drop fetchmail-bison-3.8.patch (upstream)
- Rebased patches:
* fetchmail-add-imap-oauthbearer-support.patch
* fetchmail-support-oauthbearer-xoauth2-with-pop3.patch
* Tue Nov 09 2021 [email protected]
- Add fetchmail-bison-3.8.patch: Fix build with bison 3.8.
* Wed Oct 06 2021 [email protected]
- Update to 6.4.22: [bsc#1190069, CVE-2021-39272]
* OPENSSL AND LICENSING NOTE:
- fetchmail 6.4.22 is compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.0.0.
OpenSSL's licensing changed between these releases from dual
OpenSSL/SSLeay license to Apache License v2.0, which is
considered incompatible with GPL v2 by the FSF. For
implications and details, see the file COPYING.
* SECURITY FIXES:
- CVE-2021-39272: fetchmail-SA-2021-02: On IMAP connections,
without --ssl and with nonempty --sslproto, meaning that
fetchmail is to enforce TLS, and when the server or an attacker
sends a PREAUTH greeting, fetchmail used to continue an
unencrypted connection. Now, log the error and abort the
connection. --Recommendation for servers that support
SSL/TLS-wrapped or "implicit" mode on a dedicated port
(default 993): use --ssl, or the ssl user option in an rcfile.
- On IMAP and POP3 connections, --auth ssh no longer prevents
STARTTLS negotiation.
- On IMAP connections, fetchmail does not permit overriding
a server-side LOGINDISABLED with --auth password any more.
- On POP3 connections, the possibility for RPA authentication
(by probing with an AUTH command without arguments) no longer
prevents STARTTLS negotiation.
- For POP3 connections, only attempt RPA if the authentication
type is "any".
* BUG FIXES:
- On IMAP connections, when AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL fails and we
have received the tagged (= final) response, do not send "*".
- On IMAP connections, AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL without username
will properly send a "=" for protocol compliance.
- On IMAP connections, AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL will now check if
the server advertised SASL-IR (RFC-4959) support and otherwise
refuse (fetchmail <= 6.4 has not supported and does not support
the separate challenge/response with command continuation)
- On IMAP connections, when --auth external is requested but not
advertised by the server, log a proper error message.
- Fetchmail no longer crashes when attempting a connection with
- -plugin "" or --plugout "".
- Fetchmail no longer leaks memory when processing the arguments
of --plugin or --plugout on connections.
- On POP3 connections, the CAPAbilities parser is now caseblind.
- Fix segfault on configurations with "defaults ... no envelope".
This is a regression in fetchmail 6.4.3 and happened when
plugging memory leaks, which did not account for that the
envelope parameter is special when set as "no envelope". The
segfault happens in a constant strlen(-1), triggered by trusted
local input => no vulnerability.
- Fix program abort (SIGABRT) with "internal error" when invalid
sslproto is given with OpenSSL 1.1.0 API compatible SSL
implementations.
* CHANGES:
- IMAP: When fetchmail is in not-authenticated state and the server
volunteers CAPABILITY information, use it and do not re-probe.
(After STARTTLS, fetchmail must and will re-probe explicitly.)
- For typical POP3/IMAP ports 110, 143, 993, 995, if port and --ssl
option do not match, emit a warning and continue.
- fetchmail.man and README.SSL were updated in line with
RFC-8314/8996/8997 recommendations to prefer Implicit TLS
(--ssl/ssl) and TLS v1.2 or newer, placing --sslproto tls1.2+
more prominently. The defaults shall not change between 6.4.X
releases for compatibility.

- Update to 6.4.21:
* REGRESSION FIX: The new security fix in 6.4.20 for
CVE-2021-36386 caused truncation of messages logged to
buffered outputs, predominantly --logfile.
* Thu Jul 29 2021 [email protected]
- Update to 6.4.20: [bsc#1188875, CVE-2021-36386]
* CVE-2021-36386: DoS or information disclosure in some configurations.
When a log message exceeds c. 2 kByte in size, for instance,
with very long header contents, and depending on verbosity
option, fetchmail can crash or misreport each first log message
that requires a buffer reallocation. fetchmail then reallocates
memory and re-runs vsnprintf() without another call to va_start(),
so it reads garbage. The exact impact depends on many factors
around the compiler and operating system configurations used and
the implementation details of the stdarg.h interfaces of the two
functions mentioned before.

- update to 6.4.19:
* fetchmailconf: properly catch and report option parsing errors
* LMTP: do not try to validate the last component of a UNIX-domain LMTP socket
as though it were a TCP port.
* Tue Apr 06 2021 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.18:
* fetchmailconf: fetchmail 6.4.16 added --sslcertfile to the configuration dump,
but fetchmailconf support was incomplete in Git 7349f124 and it could not
parse sslcertfile, thus the user settings editor came up empty with console
errors printed. Fix configuration parser in fetchmailconf.
* fetchmailconf: do not require fetchmail for -V. do not require Tk (Tkinter)
for -d option. This is to fail more gracefully on incomplete installs.
* TLS code: remove OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED macros to avoid portability issues
with OpenSSL v3 - these are for development purposes, not production.
* TLS futureproofing: use SSL_use_PrivateKey_file instead of
SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_file, the latter will be deprecated with OpenSSL v3,
and the user's key file might be something else than RSA.
* IMAP client: it used to leak memory for username and password when trying
the LOGIN (password-based) authentication and encountered a timeout situation.
* dist-tools/getstats.py: also counts lines in *.py files, shown above.
* fetchmail.man: now mentions that you may need to add --ssl when specifying
a TLS-wrapped port.
* fetchmailconf: --version (-V) now prints the Python version in use.
* Mon Mar 01 2021 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.16:
* fetchmail's --configdump, and fetchmailconf, lacked support for
the sslcertfile option.
* fetchmail --version [fetchmail -V] now queries and prints the
SSL/TLS library's "SSL default trusted certificate" file or
directory (mind the word "default"), where the OpenSSL-compatible
TLS implementation will look for trusted root, meaning
certification authority (CA), certificates.
* fetchmail --version now prints version of the OpenSSL library
that it was compiled against, and that it is using at runtime,
and also the OPENSSL_DIR and OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR (if available).
* Mon Jan 04 2021 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.15:
* Fix a typo in the manual page reported by David McKelvie.
* Fix cross-compilation with openssl, by Fabrice Fontaine. Merge request !23.
* Fix truncation of SMTP PLAIN AUTH with ^ in credentials, by Earl Chew.
* Sat Dec 19 2020 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.14:
* sr: Мирослав Николић (Miroslav Nikolić) [Serbian]
* Errors about lock file (= pidfile) creation could be lost in daemon
configurations (-d option, or set daemon) when using syslog. Now they are also
logged to syslog. Found verifying a pidfile creation issue on 6.4.12 that was
previously reported by Alex Hall of Automatic Distributors.
* If the lock file cannot be removed (no write permission on directory), try
to truncate it, and if that fails, report error.
* If the pidfile was non-default, fetchmail -q or --quit would malfunction and
claim no other fetchmail were running, because it did not read the
configuration files or merge the command line options, thus it would look for
the PID in the wrong file.
* Fri Dec 18 2020 [email protected]
- Don't require systemd
- Use tmpfiles for all files
- Use systemd macro for tmpfiles
- Don't delete home directory if the user stays
- Use sysusers config to create system user
* Fri Sep 04 2020 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.12:
[#] REGRESSION FIX:
* configure: fetchmail 6.4.9 and 6.4.10 would miss checking for TLS v1.2 and
TLS v1.3 support if AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS came up with something such as
/path/to/libssl.so, rather than -lssl. (For instance on FreeBSD)
* configure: fetchmail 6.4.9's configure was unable to pick up OpenSSL
if it wasn't announced by pkg-config, for instance, on FreeBSD
* Fri Aug 28 2020 [email protected]
- De-hardcode /usr/lib path for launch executable (bsc#1174075)
- Spec file cleanups
* Wed Aug 26 2020 [email protected]
- Update fetchmail.keyring file
- Use %{_prefix}/lib instead of %{_libexecdir}
* Mon Aug 24 2020 [email protected]
- update to 6.4.8:
* Add a test program fm_realpath, and a t.realpath script, neither to be
installed. These will test resolution of the current working directory.
* TRANSLATION UPDATES
* Plug memory leaks when parts of the configuration (defaults, rcfile, command
line) override one another.
* fetchmail terminated the placeholder command string too late and included
garbage from the heap at the end of the string. Workaround: don't use place-
holders %h or %p in the --plugin string. Bug added in 6.4.0 when merging
Gitlab merge request !5 in order to fix an input buffer overrun.
Faulty commit 418cda65f752e367fa663fd13884a45fcbc39ddd.
* Fetchmail now checks for errors when trying to read the .idfile
* Fetchmail's error messages that reports that the defaults entry isn't the
first was made more precise. It could be misleading if there was a poll or
skip statement before the defaults.
* Fetchmail documentation was updated to require OpenSSL 1.1.1.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 reached End Of Life status at the end of the year 2019.
Fetchmail will tolerate, but warn about, 1.0.2 for now on the assumption that
distributors backport security fixes as the need arises.
Fetchmail will also warn if another SSL library that is API-compatible
with OpenSSL lacks TLS v1.3 support.
* If the trust anchor is missing, fetchmail refers the user to README.SSL.
* The AC_DECLS(getenv) check was removed, its only user was broken and not
accounting for that AC_DECLS always defines HAVE_DECL_... to 0 or 1, so
fetchmail never declared a missing getenv() symbol (it was testing with
[#]ifdef). Remove the backup declaration. getenv is mandated by SUSv2 anyways.
* fetchmailconf now supports Python 3 and currently requires the "future"
package, see https://pypi.org/project/future/.
* fetchmailconf: The minimum supported version is now Python 2.7.13, but it is
recommended to use at least 2.7.16 (due to its massive SSL updates).
Older Python versions may check SSL certificates not strictly enough,
which may cause fetchmail to complain later, if the certificate verify fails.
* fetchmailconf now autoprobes SSL-wrapped connections (ports 993 and 995 for
IMAP and POP3) as well and by preference.
* fetchmailconf now defaults newly created users to "ssl" if either of the
existing users sets ssl, or if the server has freshly been probed and
found supporting ssl.
There is a caveat: adding a user to an existing server without probing it
again may skip adding ssl. (This does not prevent STARTTLS.)
* Fix three bugs in fetchmail.man (one unterminated string to .IP macro, one
line that ran into a .PP macro, .TH date format), and remove one .br request
from inside the table, which is unsupported by FreeBSD 12's mandoc(1) formatter.
* Further man page fixes and additions by Chris Mayo and Gregor Zattler.
* When evaluating the need for STARTTLS in non-default configurations (SSL
certificate validation turned off), fetchmail would only consider --sslproto
tls1 as requiring STARTTLS, now all non-empty protocol versions do.
* fetchmailconf now properly writes "no sslcertck" if sslcertck is disabled.
* fetchmailconf now catches and reports OS errors (including DNS errors) when
autoprobing.
* fetchmailconf received a host of other bugfixes, see the Git commit log.
* Wed Aug 19 2020 [email protected]
- Fix invalid usage of libexecdir where %_tmpfilesdir was meant to
be used.
* Sun Feb 02 2020 [email protected]
- pwdutils is gone long time ago

- switch to python3
- don't require python*-devel
* Fri Oct 04 2019 [email protected]
- Update to 6.4.1 [bsc#1152964]
[#]# REGRESSION FIXES:
* The bug fix Debian Bug#941129 was incomplete and caused
- a regression in the default file locations, so that fetchmail was
no longer able to find its configuration files in some situations.
- a regression under _FORTIFY_SOURCE where PATH_MAX > minimal _POSIX_PATH_MAX.
- Update to 6.4.0
[#]# SECURITY FIXES THAT AFFECT BEHAVIOUR AND MAY REQUIRE RECONFIGURATION
* Fetchmail no longer supports SSLv2.
* Fetchmail no longer attempts to negotiate SSLv3 by default,
even with --sslproto ssl23. Fetchmail can now use SSLv3, or TLSv1.1 or a newer
TLS version, with STLS/STARTTLS (it would previously force TLSv1.0 with
STARTTLS). If the OpenSSL version used at build and run-time supports these
versions, --sslproto ssl3 and --sslproto ssl3+ can be used to re-enable SSLv3.
Doing so is discouraged because the SSLv3 protocol is broken.
While this change is supposed to be compatible with common configurations,
users may have to and are advised to change all explicit --sslproto ssl2
(change to newer protocols required), --sslproto ssl3, --sslproto tls1 to
- -sslproto auto, so that they can benefit from TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 where
supported by the server.
The --sslproto option now understands the values auto, ssl3+, tls1+, tls1.1,
tls1.1+, tls1.2, tls1.2+, tls1.3, tls1.3+ (case insensitively), see CHANGES
below for details.
* Fetchmail defaults to --sslcertck behaviour. A new option --nosslcertck to
override this has been added, but may be removed in future fetchmail versions
in favour of another configuration option that makes the insecurity in using
this option clearer.
[#]# SECURITY FIXES
* Fetchmail prevents buffer overruns in GSSAPI authentication with user names
beyond c. 6000 characters in length. Reported by Greg Hudson.
[#]# CHANGED REQUIREMENTS
* fetchmail 6.4.0 is written in C99 and requires a SUSv3 (Single Unix
Specification v3, a superset of POSIX.1-2001 aka. IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 with
XSI extension) compliant system. For now, a C89 compiler should also work
if the system is SUSv3 compliant.
In particular, older fetchmail versions had workaround for several functions
standardized in the Single Unix Specification v3, these have been removed.
The trio/ library has been removed from the distribution.
[#]# CHANGES
* fetchmail 6.3.X is unsupported.
* fetchmail now configures OpenSSL support by default.
* fetchmail now requires OpenSSL v1.0.2 or newer.
* Fetchmail now supports --sslproto auto and --sslproto tls1+ (same as ssl23).
* --sslproto tls1.1+, tls1.2+, and tls1.3+ are now supported for
auto-negotiation with a minimum specified TLS protocol version, and --sslproto
tls1.1, --sslproto tls1.2 and --sslproto tls1.3 to force the specified TLS
protocol version. Note that tls1.3 requires OpenSSL v1.1.1 or newer.
* Fetchmail now detects if the server hangs up prematurely during SSL_connect()
and reports this condition as such, and not just as SSL connection failure.
(OpenSSL 1.0.2 reported incompatible with pop3.live.com by Jerry Seibert).
* A foreground fetchmail can now accept a few more options while another copy is
running in the background.
* fetchmail now handles POP3 --keep UID lists more efficiently, by using Rainer
Weikusat's P-Tree implementation. This reduces the complexity for handling
a large UIDL from O(n^2) to O(n log n) and becomes noticably faster with
thousands of kept messages. (IMAP does not currently track UIDs and is unaffected.)
At the same time, the UIDL emulation code for deficient servers has been
removed. It never worked really well. Servers that do not implement the
optional UIDL command only work with --fetchall option set, which in itself is
incompatible with the --keep option (it would cause message duplication).
* fetchmail, when setting up TLS connections, now uses SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
to set up the SNI (Server Name Indication). Some servers (for instance
googlemail) require SNI when using newer SSL protocols.
* Fetchmail now sets the expected hostname through OpenSSL 1.0.2's new
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() function to enable OpenSSL's native certificate
verification features.
* fetchmail will drop the connection when fetching with IMAP and receiving an
unexpected untagged "* BYE" response, to work around certain faulty servers.
* The FETCHMAIL_POP3_FORCE_RETR environment variable is now documented,
it forces fetchmail, when talking POP3, to always use the RETR command,
even if it would otherwise use the TOP command.
* Fetchmail's configure stage will try to query pkg-config or pkgconf for libssl
and libcrypto, in case other system use .pc files to document specific library dependencies.
* The gethostbyname() API calls and compatibility functions have been removed.
* These translations are shipped but not installed by default because
they have less than 500 translated messages out of 714: el fi gl pt_BR sk tr
- > Greek, Finnish, Galician, Brazilian Portuguese, Slovak, Turkish.
* Fetchmail now refuses delivery if the MDA option contains single-quoted expansions.
[#]# FIXES
* Do not translate header tags such as "Subject:".
* Convert most links from berlios.de to sourceforge.net.
* Report error to stderr, and exit, if --idle is combined with multiple accounts.
* Point to --idle from GENERAL OPERATION to clarify --idle and multiple mailboxes do not mix.
* Fix SSL-enabled build on systems that do not declare SSLv3_client_method(),
or that #define OPENSSL_NO_SSL3 inside #include <openssl/ssl.h>
* Version report lists -SSLv3 on SSL-enabled no-ssl3 builds.
* Fetchmail no longer adds a NUL byte to the username in GSSAPI authentication.
This was reported to break Kerberos-based authentication with Microsoft Exchange 2013
* Set umask properly before writing the .fetchids file, to avoid failing the
security check on the next run.
* When forwarding by LMTP, also check antispam response code when collecting
the responses after the CR LF . CR LF sequence at the end of the DATA phase.
* fetchmail will not try other protocols after a socket error. This avoids mismatches
of how different prococols see messages as "seen" and re-fetches of known mail.
* fetchmail no longer reports "System error during SSL_connect(): Success."
* fetchmailconf would ignore Edit or Delete actions on the first (topmost)
item in a list (no matter if server list, user list, ...).
* The mimedecode feature now properly detects multipart/mixed-type matches, so
that quoted-printable-encoded multipart messages can get decoded.
(Regression in 5.0.0 on 1999-03-27, as a side effect of a PGP-mimedecode fix
attributed to Henrik Storner.)
* FETCHMAILHOME can now safely be a relative path, which will be qualified
through realpath(). Previously, it had to be absolute in daemon mode.
[#]# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS
(This section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
current release information)
* Fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
(See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
* Fetchmail currently uses 31-bit signed integers in several places
where unsigned and/or wider types should have been used, for instance,
for mailbox sizes, and misreports sizes of 2 GibiB and beyond.
Fixing this requires C89 compatibility to be relinquished.
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
64-bit mode. Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit fetchmail.
* Fetchmail does not track pending deletes across crashes.
* The command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running.
* Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if
no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured.
(No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.)
* Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error
messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5
server to test against. Use GSSAPI.

[#] CRITICAL BUG FIX for setups using "mimedecode":
* The mimedecode feature failed to ship the last line of the body if it was
encoded as quoted-printable and had a MIME soft line break in the very last
line. Reported by Lars Hecking in June 2011.
* Bug introduced on 1998-03-20 when the mimedecode support was added by ESR
before release 4.4.1 through code contributed by Henrik Storner.
Workaround for older releases: do not use mimedecode feature.
* Earlier versions of this NEWS file claimed this bug fixed in fetchmail-6.3.23,
but it was not.
* Fixes Launchpad Bug#1171818.
* Tue Mar 19 2013 [email protected]
- update to 6.3,25
[#] CRITICAL AND REGRESSION FIXES
* Plug a memory leak in OpenSSL's certificate verification callback.
This would affect fetchmail configurations running with SSL in daemon mode
more than one-shot runs.
Reported by Erik Thiele, and pinned by Dominik Heeg,
fixes Debian Bug #688015.
This bug was introduced into fetchmail 6.3.0 (committed 2005-10-29)
when support for subjectAltName was added through a patch by Roland
Stigge, submitted as Debian Bug#201113.
* The --logfile option now works again outside daemon mode, reported by Heinz
Diehl. The documentation that I had been reading was inconsistent with the
code, and only parts of the manual page claimed that --logfile was only
effective in daemon mode.
[#] BUG FIXES
* Fix a memory leak in out-of-memory error condition while handling plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
* Fix a NULL pointer dereference in out-of-memory error condition while handling
plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
[#] CHANGES
* Improved reporting when SSL/TLS X.509 certificate validation has failed,
working around a not-so-recent swapping of two OpenSSL error codes, and
a practical impossibility to distinguish broken certification chains from
missing trust anchors (root certificates).
* OpenSSL decoded errors are now reported through report(), rather than dumped
to stderr, so that they should show up in logfiles and/or syslog.
* The fetchmail manual page no longer claims that MD5 were the default OpenSSL
hash format (for use with --sslfingerprint). Reported by Jakob Wilk,
PARTIAL fix for Debian Bug#700266.
* The fetchmail manual page now refers the user to --softbounce from the
SMTP/ESMTP ERROR HANDLING section. Reported by Anton Shterenlikht.
* Tue Dec 11 2012 [email protected]
- update to 6.3.23
[#] REGRESSION FIXES
* Fix compilation with OpenSSL implementations before 0.9.8m that lack
SSL_CTX_clear_options. Patch by Earl Chew.
Note that the use of older OpenSSL versions with fetchmail is unsupported and
* not* recommended.
[#] BUG FIXES
* Fix combination of --plugin and -f -. Patch by Alexander Zangerl,
to fix Debian Bug#671294.
* Clean up logfile vs. syslog handling, and in case logfile overrides
syslog, send a message to the latter stating where logging goes.
[#] CHANGES
* The build process can now be made a bit more silent and concise through
./configure --enable-silent-rules, or by adding "V=0" to the make command.
[#] WORKAROUNDS
* Make Maillennium POP3 workarounds less specific, to encompass
Maillennium POP3/UNIBOX (Maillennium V05.00c++). Reported by Eddie
via fetchmail-users mailing list, 2012-10-13.

[#] SECURITY FIXES
* CVE-2012-3482 (bnc#775988)
* CVE-2011-3389
[#] BUG FIX
* The Server certificate: message in verbose mode now appears on stdout like the
remainder of the output. Reported by Henry Jensen, to fix Debian Bug #639807.
* The GSSAPI-related autoconf code now matches gssapi.c better, and uses
a different check to look for GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE.
This fixes the GSSAPI-enabled build on NetBSD 6 Beta.
[#] CHANGES
* The security and errata notices fetchmail-{EN,SA}-20??-??.txt are now
under the more relaxed CC BY-ND 3.0 license (the noncommercial clause
was dropped). The Creative Commons address was updated.
* The Python-related Makefile.am parts were simplified to avoid an automake
1.11.X bug around noinst_PYTHON, Automake Bug #10995.
* Configuring fetchmail without SSL now triggers a configure warning,
and asks the user to consider running configure --with-ssl.
[#] WORKAROUNDS
* Some servers, notably Zimbra, return A1234 987 FETCH () in response to
a header request, in the face of message corruption. fetchmail now treats
these as temporary errors. Report and Patch by Mikulas Patocka, Red Hat.
* Some servers, notably Microsoft Exchange, return "A0009 OK FETCH completed."
without any header in response to a header request for meeting reminder
messages (with a "meeting.ics" attachment). fetchmail now treats these as
transient errors. Report by John Connett, Patch by Sunil Shetye.

- critical bug fix
- The IMAP client no longer inserts NUL bytes into the last line
of a message when it is not closed with a LF or CRLF sequence.
Reported by Antoine Levitt. As a side effect of the fix, and
in order to avoid a full rewrite, fetchmail will now
CRLF-terminate the last line fetched through IMAP, even if it
is originally not terminated by LF or CRLF. This bears no
relevance if your messages end up in mbox, but adds line
termination for storages (like Maildir) that do not require
that the last line be LF- or CRLF-terminated.

[#] SECURITY BUG FIXES
- CVE-2011-1947 (bnc#697368): STARTTLS: Fetchmail runs the IMAP
STARTTLS or POP3 STLS negotiation with the set timeout (default
five minutes) now. This was reported missing, with observed
fetchmail freezes beyond a week, by Thomas Jarosch.
See fetchmail-SA-2011-01.txt for further details.
[#] BUG FIXES
- IMAP: Do not search for UNSEEN messages in ranges. Usually,
there are very few new messages and most of the range searches
result in nothing. Instead, split the long response to make the
IMAP driver think that there are multiple lines of response.
- Do not print "skipping message" for old messages even in
verbose mode. If there are too many old messages, the logs just
get filled without any real activity.
- Build: fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation
rather than trying to find a system library with matched
header. The library and header variants found on systems are
too diverse, and the code size saving is not worth any more
wasted user or programmer time.
[#] CHANGES
- Call strlen() only once when removing CRLF from a line.
- fetchmail sets Internet domain sockets to "keepalive" mode now.
Note that there is no portable way to configure actual timeouts
for this mode, and some systems only support a system-wide
timeout setting. fetchmail does not attempt to tune the time
spans of keepalive mode.
- remove build-time dependency on ed
- use spec-cleaner

- update to fetchmail-6.3.19
- bugfix release
* When specifying multiple local multidrop lists, do not lose
wildcard flag. (Affects "user foo is bar baz * is joe here")
* In multidrop configurations, an asterisk can now appear
anywhere in the list of local users, not just at the end.
* In multidrop mode, header parsing is now more verbose in -vv
mode, so that it becomes possible to see which header is used.
* Make --antispam work from command line (these used to work in
rcfiles).
* Smoke test XHTML 1.1 validation, and if it fails, skip
validating HTML documents. Skip validating
Mailbox-Names-UTF7.html. Several systems have broken XHTML 1.1
DTD installations that jeopardize the build.
* Send a NOOP only after a failed STARTTLS in IMAP.
* GSSAPI verbose/debug syslog to INFO severity. Do STARTTLS/STLS
negotiation in IMAP/POP3 if it is mandatory even if the server
capabilities do not show support for upgradation to TLS. To
use this, configure --sslproto tls1.
* IMAP: Understand empty strings as FETCH response, seen on
Yahoo. Note that fetchmail continues to expect literals as
FETCH response for now.
* Mon Oct 11 2010 [email protected]
- update to fetchmail-6.3.18
[#] SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS TO DEFANG X.509 CERTIFICATE ABUSE
* Fetchmail now only accepts wildcard certificate common names
and subject alternative names if they start with "*.". Previous
versions would accept wildcards even if no period followed
immediately.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcards in certificates to match
domain literals (such as 10.9.8.7), or wildcards in domain
literals ("*.168.23.23"). The test is overly picky and
triggers if the pattern (after skipping the initial wildcard
"*") or domain consists solely of digits and dots, and thus
matches more than needed.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcarding top-level domains.
[#] CRITICAL BUG FIXES AND REGRESSION FIXES
* Fetchmail 6.3.15, 6.3.16, and 6.3.17 would pick up libmd5 to
obtain MD5* functions, as an effect of an undocumented Solaris
MD5 fix. This caused all MD5-related functions to malfunction
if, for instance, libmd5.so was installed on other operating
systems as part of libwww on machines where long isn't
32-bits, i. e. usually on 64-bit computers.
* Fetchmail 6.3.17 warned about insecure SSL/TLS connections
even if a matching --sslfingerprint was specified. This is an
omission from an SSL usability change made in 6.3.17.
* Fetchmail will now apply timeouts to the authentication stage.
This stage encompasses STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3.
Reported missing by Thomas Jarosch.
* Fetchmail now cancels GSSAPI authentication properly when
encountering GSS errors, such as no or unsuitable credentials.
It now sends an asterisk on a line by its own, as required in
SASL. This fixes protocol synchronization issues that cause
Authentication failures, often observed with kerberized MS
Exchange servers.
* Other fixes.
* Tue Aug 17 2010 [email protected]
- update to fetchmail-6.3.17
[#] SECURITY FIX
* CVE-2010-1167: Fetchmail before release 6.3.17 did not properly
sanitize external input (mail headers and UID).
[#] FEATURES
* Fetchmail now supports a --sslcertfile <file> option to
specify a "CA bundle" file (a file that contains trusted CA
certificates).
* Fetchmail now supports a
FETCHMAIL_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_X509_CA_CERTS environment variable
to force loading the default SSL CA certificate locations even
if --sslcertfile or --sslcertpath is used. If neither option
is in effect, fetchmail loads the default locations.
[#] REGRESSION FIX
* Fix string handling in rcfile scanner, which caused fetchmail
to misparse a run control file in certain circumstances.
[#] BUG FIXES
* Plug memory leak when using a "defaults" entry in the run
control file.
* Do not print SSL certificate mismatches unless verbose or
- -sslcertck is enabled.
* Do not lose "set invisible" in fetchmailconf. (Michael Barnack)

"localdomains", as documented.
* Do not close stdout when using mda and "bsmtp -" at the same time.
* Log operating system errors when BSMTP writes fail.
* Fix verbose mode progress formatting regression from 6.3.10;
SMTP trace lines were no longer on a line of their own. Reported
by Melchior Franz.
* Check seteuid() return value and abort running MDA if switch fails.
* Set global flags in a consistent manner. Make --nosoftbounce and
- -nobounce work from command line (these used to work in rcfiles).
Reported and fix confirmed working by N.J. Mann. (Sunil Shetye)
* Fri Feb 05 2010 [email protected]
- update to fetchmail-6.3.14
[#] SECURITY FIXES
* SSL/TLS certificate information is now also reported properly
on computers that consider the "char" type signed. Fixes
malloc() buffer overrun. Workaround for older versions: do not
use verbose mode.
[#] BUG FIXES
* The IMAP client no longer skips messages from several IMAP
servers including Dovecot if fetchmail's "idle" is in use.
Causes were that fetchmail (a) ignored some untagged responses
when it should not (b) relied on EXISTS messages in response to
EXPUNGE, which aren't mandated by RFC-3501 (the IMAP standard)
and aren't sent by Dovecot either. Fix by Sunil Shetye (the fix
also consolidates IMAP response handling, improving overall
robustness of the IMAP client), bug report and testing by Matt
Doran, with further hints from Timo Sirainen.
* The SMTP client now recovers from errors (such as servers
dropping the connection after errors) when sending an RSET
command. Fix by Sunil Shetye. Report by James Moe.
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN" rather than "SEARCH
UNSEEN NOT DELETED" again on IMAP2, to fix a regression in
fetchmail 6.2.5 reported by Will Stringer in June 2004. (Sunil
Shetye)
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED" on IMAP4
and IMAP4r1 servers (Sunil Shetye).
* Workaround: The IMAP client now falls back to "FETCH n:m
FLAGS" if the server does not support "SEARCH". (Sunil Shetye)
* The IMAP client now requests message numbers in batches of
1,000 to avoid problems if there are more than 1860 unseen
messages. (Sunil Shetye) Note that this wasn't security
relevant because fetchmail would only read up to the maximum
buffer size and leave the remainder of the string unread, going
out of synch afterwards.
* Stricter validation of IMAP responses containing byte or
message counts.
- fetchmail 6.3.13 :
[#] REGRESSION FIXES
* The multiline SMTP error fix in release 6.3.12 caused
fetchmail to lose message codes 400..599 and treat all of these
as temporary error. This would cause messages to be left on the
server even if softbounce was turned off. Reported by Thomas
Jarosch.
* Fri Nov 13 2009 [email protected]
- update to fetchmail-6.3.12
[#] REGRESSION FIXES
* The CVS-2009-2666 fix in fetchmail release 6.3.11 caused a free() of
unallocated memory on SSL connections, which caused crashes or program aborts
on some systems (depending on how initialization and free() of unallocated
memory is handled in compiler and libc).
Workaround for older versions: run in verbose mode.
Patch courtesy of Thomas Heinz, fixes Gentoo Bug #280760.
This regression affected only the 6.3.11 release, but not the patch that was
part of the security announcement fetchmail-SA-2009-01.
[#] BUG FIXES

[#] SECURITY BUGFIXES
* CVE-2009-2666: SSL NUL prefix impersonation attack through NULs in a
part of a X.509 certificate's CommonName and subjectAltName fields. These
fields use opaque strings with a separate length field, so that the NUL
character isn't a special character inside the certificate. Fetchmail, being
written in the C language, used to treat these strings as C strings
nonetheless, so that the domain comparison would end at the first embedded NUL
character, rather than at the real end of the string.
Fetchmail will now abort certificate verification as failed if NULs are
encountered inside either of these fields regardless of their position, and
drop the connection even if --sslcertck is not used, because NUL is not a
valid character in legitimate DNS names.
See fetchmail-SA-2009-01.txt for details, including a minimal patch.
[#] BUGFIXES
* Remove the spurious message "message delimiter found while scanning headers".
RFC-5322 syntax states that the delimiter is part of the body, and the body is
optional.
