CVE-2005-2335
Buffer overflow in the POP3 client in Fetchmail before 6.2.5.2 allows remote POP3 servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long UIDL responses.
MEDIUM 5.0EPSS 5.88%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
