- update to 6.3,25
# CRITICAL AND REGRESSION FIXES
* Plug a memory leak in OpenSSL's certificate verification callback.
This would affect fetchmail configurations running with SSL in daemon mode
more than one-shot runs.
Reported by Erik Thiele, and pinned by Dominik Heeg,
fixes Debian Bug #688015.
This bug was introduced into fetchmail 6.3.0 (committed 2005-10-29)
when support for subjectAltName was added through a patch by Roland
Stigge, submitted as Debian Bug#201113.
* The --logfile option now works again outside daemon mode, reported by Heinz
Diehl. The documentation that I had been reading was inconsistent with the
code, and only parts of the manual page claimed that --logfile was only
effective in daemon mode.
# BUG FIXES
* Fix a memory leak in out-of-memory error condition while handling plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
* Fix a NULL pointer dereference in out-of-memory error condition while handling
plugins.
Report and patch by John Beck (found with Parfait static code analyzer).
# CHANGES
* Improved reporting when SSL/TLS X.509 certificate validation has failed,
working around a not-so-recent swapping of two OpenSSL error codes, and
a practical impossibility to distinguish broken certification chains from
missing trust anchors (root certificates).
* OpenSSL decoded errors are now reported through report(), rather than dumped
to stderr, so that they should show up in logfiles and/or syslog.
* The fetchmail manual page no longer claims that MD5 were the default OpenSSL
hash format (for use with --sslfingerprint). Reported by Jakob Wilk,
PARTIAL fix for Debian Bug#700266. (forwarded request 159960 from vitezslav_cizek)
