Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12
Severity: important

Looking at the following session, one can wonder what this "72
messages" refers to.  It may just be a wrong calculation that could
explain why there is a timeout afterwards.  At least, I hope so...

$ fetchmail
270 messages (1 seen) for ydirson at altern.
skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:1 not flushed
skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:2 (36981 octets) (oversized) not =
flushed
reading message ydirson at pop.altern.org:3 of 270 (1739 header octets) . (2=
747 body octets) ... flushed
[...]

t flushed
72 messages (51 seen) for ydirson at altern.
skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:1 not flushed
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for server altern.
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from altern
fetchmail: Query status=3D2 (SOCKET)
You have new mail in /var/mail/dwitch
~[3144]$ fetchmail=20
26 messages (1 seen) for ydirson at altern.
skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:1 not flushed
skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:2 (36981 octets) (oversized) not =

skipping message ydirson at pop.altern.org:20 (47221 octets) (oversized) not=
 flushed
reading message ydirson at pop.altern.org:21 of 26 (1414 header octets) . (2=
171 body octets) .. flushed
[...]


The configuration for this account is:

defaults
 username ydirson
 limit 30000
 expunge 50
 mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f -"

poll altern
 via pop.altern.org
 protocol IMAP
 password XXXXXXX


Indeed, I suspect the "expunge" setting is not correctly used, since
the "XX messages (XX seen)" line does not occur at all between the
initial one and the one just before the problem.

The timeout on 2nd run happens really frequently, but I had not
noticed this strange number of messages till today.

   [ Loic Minier ]
   * New upstream stable releases.
     - Fix password exposure in fetchmailconf: use umask 077 before opening
       output file and restore umask later. (Closes: #336096)
       This is CVE-2005-3088.
     - Drop 01pop3sec.dpatch, included upstream.
     - Fix IMAP timeouts, counting message count down on servers that do not

       completely destroyed upstream.
   * Add myself to Uploaders.
