Version 6.2.5.2 of fetchmail

Release Notes: This release fixes CAN-2005-2335 (a remote code injection vulnerability through a malicious POP3 server's UIDL replies). RFC-821/2821 conformance was fixed by not emitting a blank between MAIL FROM: and the address, which caused mail loss on some sites. The POP2 driver now checks for authentication failures. The APOP/RPOP drivers no longer attempt to get SIZE for a message range. Fetchmail has been handed to new maintainers and has changed its home site.

Release Notes: A security issue where a misinterpreted server response could allow DoS and data theft in NTLM authentication was fixed. This issue was reported as CVE-2012-3482.

Release Notes: This release fixes a STARTTLS denial of service vulnerability (CVE-2011-1947). It reduces repetitions in "unseen" message logging and speeds up IMAP fetches with full mailboxes quite a bit. Fetchmail now sets its Internet sockets to keepalive mode, to detect disconnections, and resolves MD5-related build problems.
