What is CVE-2002-1174?

Fetchmail versions 6.0.0 and earlier are susceptible to buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote attackers.

Vulnerabilities arise from incorrect parsing of headers, particularly the Received: headers, making this flaw critical for users of affected versions to address quickly.
