+  <title>fetchmail: Password exposure in fetchmailconf</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    fetchmailconf fails to properly handle file permissions, temporarily
+    exposing sensitive information to other local users.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    fetchmail is a utility that retrieves and forwards mail from
+    remote systems using IMAP, POP, and other protocols. It ships with
+    fetchmailconf, a graphical utility used to create configuration files.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Thomas Wolff discovered that fetchmailconf opens the configuration
+    file with default permissions, writes the configuration to it, and only
+    then restricts read permissions to the owner.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could exploit the race condition to retrieve
+    sensitive information like IMAP/POP passwords.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Run "umask 077" to temporarily strengthen default permissions,
+    then run "fetchmailconf" from the same shell.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All fetchmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5.2-r1"</code>
