Subject: OpenLinux: sendmail sign extension buffer overflow (CERT CA-2003-12)
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-016.0
Issue date: 2003 April 03

1. Problem Description

        From CERT CA-2003-12: There is a vulnerability in sendmail that
        can be exploited to cause a denial-of-service condition and
        could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
        the privileges of the sendmail daemon, typically root.

2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

        System Package
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------

        OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
                                        prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

3. Solution

        The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
        customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
        cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
        packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
