Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: sendmail
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:042
Date: April 1st, 2003
Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Michal Zalweski discovered a vulnerability in sendmail versions earlier
than 8.12.9 in the address parser, which performs insufficient bounds
checking in certain conditions due to a char to int conversion. This
vulnerability makes it poissible for an attacker to take control of
sendmail and is thought to be remotely exploitable, and very likely
locally exploitable. Updated packages are available with patches
applied (the older versions), and the new fixed version is available
for Mandrake Linux 9.1 users.
