    Package name:           sendmail
    Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:086
    Date:                   August 26th, 2003
    
    Affected versions:	8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Problem Description:
    
     A vulnerability was discovered in all 8.12.x versions of sendmail up to
     and including 8.12.8.  Due to wrong initialization of RESOURCE_RECORD_T
     structures, if sendmail receives a bad DNS reply it will call free() on
     random addresses which usually causes sendmail to crash.
     
     These updated packages are patched to fix the problem.
