Detail
| Wolfram Kleff found a problem in fetchmail: it would crash when processing emails with extremely long headers. The problem was a buffer overflow in the header parser which could be exploited. This has been fixed in version 5.3.3-1.3, and we recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
