CVE-2021-36386
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2021-07-29 13:59
Modified
2024-08-04 00:54
Severity ?
Summary
report_vbuild in report.c in Fetchmail before 6.4.20 sometimes omits initialization of the vsnprintf va_list argument, which might allow mail servers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via long error messages. NOTE: it is unclear whether use of Fetchmail on any realistic platform results in an impact beyond an inconvenience to the client user.
