What is CVE-2010-0562?

The sdump function in sdump.c of Fetchmail versions 6.3.11, 6.3.12, and 6.3.13 can be exploited when running in verbose mode, particularly on platforms where char is signed. This vulnerability arises when an SSL X.509 certificate containing non-printable characters with the high bit set is processed, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. This can lead to application crashes or could potentially allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
