MDKSA-2005:126: fetchmail Vulnerability Scan

Check for the version of the fetchmail package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:126 (fetchmail).
A buffer overflow was discovered in fetchmail's POP3 client which could allow a
malicious server to send a carefully crafted message UID, causing fetchmail to
crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running fetchmail.
The updated packages have been patched to address this problem.
