Updated fetchmail packages fix logging regression

Publication date: 27 Aug 2021
Modification date: 27 Aug 2021
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 8

Description

The recent fix for CVE-2021-36386 released in MGASA-2021-0391 introduced
a regression causing truncation of messages logged to buffered outputs,
predominantly --logfile. This also caused lines in the logfile to run
into one another because the fragment containing the "\n" line-end
character was usually lost.
