I guest: 1.- SuSE 7.1 ships PATCHED version for qpop 2.53. 2.- SAINT uses the banner which is prompted by popper daemon upon connection to port 110. This banner has not been touched by SuSE people so SAINT gets confused thinking it has found a vulnerable version. So... 3.- It's a false positive :-) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Negative. All SuSE distributions _before_ did. 7.1 contains qpopper-3.1.2, the most recent version at the time the CDs were made. It's on CD 2, path suse/n2/qpopper.rpm . The package pop was split up into two single packages "imap" and qpopper.
2.- SAINT uses the banner which is prompted by popper daemon upon connection to port 110. This banner has not been touched by SuSE people so SAINT gets confused thinking it has found a vulnerable version. So... 3.- It's a false positive :-)
Yes. Our poppers do not contain any of the known weaknesses.
