    Default Major Sendmail vulnerability - happy patching..

    http://www.iss.net/issEn/delivery/xf....jsp?oid=21950

    Synopsis:

    ISS X-Force has discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sendmail Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). Sendmail is the most common MTA and has been documented to handle between 50% and 75% of all Internet email traffic.

    Impact:

    Attackers may remotely exploit this vulnerability to gain "root" or superuser control of any vulnerable Sendmail server. Sendmail and all other email servers are typically exposed to the Internet in order to send and receive Internet email. Vulnerable Sendmail servers will not be protected by legacy security devices such as firewalls and/or packet filters. This vulnerability is especially dangerous because the exploit can be delivered within an email
    message and the attacker doesn't need any specific knowledge of the target to launch a successful attack.

    Affected Versions:

    Sendmail versions from 5.79 to 8.12.7 are vulnerable

    Note: The affected versions of Sendmail commercial, Sendmail open source running on all platforms are known to be vulnerable.
