This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility.
A bug was found in the way the fetchmailconf utility program writes configuration files. The default behavior of fetchmailconf is to write a configuration file which may be world readable for a short period of time. This configuration file could provide passwords to a local malicious attacker within the short window before fetchmailconf sets secure permissions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-3088 to this issue.
Users of fetchmail are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch which resolves this issue.
