561839: CVE-2010-0562 fetchmail: (verbose mode) Heap overflow by formating byte string into its printable representation

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The sdump function in sdump.c in fetchmail 6.3.11, 6.3.12, and 6.3.13, when running in verbose mode on platforms for which char is signed, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an SSL X.509 certificate containing non-printable characters with the high bit set, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow during escaping.
