A new update is available for Fedora Core - [SECURITY] Fedora Core 4 Update: libc-client-2002e-17. Here the announcement:

Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-1115
2005-12-08
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 4
Name : libc-client
Version : 2002e
Release : 17
Summary : C-client mail access routines for IMAP and POP protocols
Description :
C-client is a common API for accessing mailboxes. It is used internally by
the popular PINE mail reader, the University of Washington's IMAP server
and PHP.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The c-client library provides an API which allows
applications to access and manipulate remote mail boxes.

The library contains a bug in its mail_valid_net_parse()
function. If an application allows untrusted input to be
supplied to this function, its stack may become corrupted.
This update backports the fix from imap-2004g which resolves
this issue.

- account for the /usr/share/ssl -gt; /etc/pki/tls move in the patch which
sets the locations at compile-time (more of #165967)

* Wed Nov 23 2005 Nalin Dahyabhai lt;nalin@redhat.comgt; 2002e-16
- rebuild

- apply fix for CVE-2005-2933: buffer overflow (#171345)

- rebuilt against new openssl

* Sat Oct 15 2005 Florian La Roche lt;laroche@redhat.comgt;
- fix to rebuild at least, seems the way to specify the
include dir is a bit broken
