Bug 524684 – <net-mail/getmail-4.46.0: various flaws related to IMAP4-over-SSL certificate validation (CVE-2014-{7273,7274,7275})

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2014-10-07 09:45:28 UTC]

From ${URL} :

Various security-related flaws were fixed in getmail versions 4.44, 4.45, and 4.46 [1]. The version 
of getmail in epel-6 is: getmail-4.40.1-1.el6. CVEs for these issues were requested at [2]. Fedora 
and EPEL-7 ship getmail-4.46 and are thus not affected.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

4.46 has been in the tree for a long time, feel free to stabilize it.

CVE-2014-7275 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-7275):
  The POP3-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.0.0 through 4.44.0 does not
  verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle
  attackers to spoof POP3 servers and obtain sensitive information via a
  crafted certificate.

CVE-2014-7274 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-7274):
  The IMAP-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.44.0 does not verify that the
  server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN)
  field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to
  spoof IMAP servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted
  certificate from a recognized Certification Authority.

CVE-2014-7273 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-7273):
  The IMAP-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.0.0 through 4.43.0 does not
  verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle
  attackers to spoof IMAP servers and obtain sensitive information via a
  crafted certificate.
