Arches, please test and mark stable:
=net-mail/fetchmail-6.3.11
Target keywords : "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"
Comment 2 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-06 22:52:00 UTC
USE=krb4 requires app-crypt/mit-krb5 built with USE=krb4, which is only available for < mit-krb5-1.7.  I adjusted the dependency.  x86 stable.

CVE-2009-2666 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2666):
  socket.c in fetchmail before 6.3.11 does not properly handle a '\0'
  character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of
  an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to
  spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a
  legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
