+Subject: [PATCH] Security fix: avoid NULL+1 deref on invalid AUTH reply
+
+When fetchmail receives a 334 reply from the SMTP server
+that does not contain the mandated blank after that response
+code, it will attempt reading from memory location 1, which
+will usually lead to a crash.
+
+The simpler fix would have been to check for four bytes "334 "
+instead of three bytes "334" but that would make malformed
+replies and those that don't match the expected reply code
+indistinguishable.
+
+CVE: CVE-2025-61962
+Upstream-Status: Backport
