    Subject:		Linux: remote buffer overflow in sendmail (CERT CA-2003-07)
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-010.0
    Issue date: 		2003 March 10

    1. Problem Description
    
    	From CA-2003-07: Researchers at Internet Security Systems
    	(ISS) have discovered a remotely exploitable vulnerability in
    	sendmail. This vulnerability could allow an intruder to gain
    	control of a vulnerable sendmail server.
    
    
    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
    
    	System				Package
    	----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to sendmail-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to sendmail-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to sendmail-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to sendmail-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-13.i386.rpm
    					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-13.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.
