Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in fetchmail:

socket.c in fetchmail before 6.3.11 does not properly handle a '\0'
character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field
of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers
to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a
legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408
(CVE-2009-2666).

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.
