Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2002-1175 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (fetchmail), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The getmxrecord function in Fetchmail 6.0.0 and earlier does not properly check the boundary of a particular malformed DNS packet from a malicious DNS server, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) when Fetchmail attempts to read data beyond the expected boundary.
