Description
The sdump function in sdump.c in fetchmail 6.3.11, 6.3.12, and 6.3.13, when running in verbose mode on platforms for which char is signed, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an SSL X.509 certificate containing non-printable characters with the high bit set, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow during escaping.
Affected configurations
• fetchmail fetchmail 6.3.11
• fetchmail fetchmail 6.3.12
• fetchmail fetchmail 6.3.13
