-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory securityat_private http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman December 7, 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The version of sendmail that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has a slight problem in the code to regenerate the aliases database. Sendmail allowed any user to run sendmail with the -bi option to (re)initialize the aliases database. The user could then interrupt sendmail and leave the system with a broken aliases database. This has been fixed in version 8.9.3-3slink1 by only allowing root and trusted users to regenerate the aliases database. We recommend you upgrade your sendmail package to new version. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - -------------------------------- This version of Debian was released only for Intel ia32, the Motorola 680x0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
