Status: RejectedUnscored—

Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: the reported issue is not a vulnerability or exposure. Notes: This candidate was assigned to a "head-reading" bug in a component of fetchmail 6.2.4 and earlier, which was claimed to allow a denial of service. However, the bug is in a broken component of fetchmail that is not "reachable" by any execution path, so it cannot be triggered by any sort of attack and is not exploitable
