Debian Security Advisory

DSA-1015-1 sendmail -- programming error

Date Reported:

23 Mar 2006

Affected Packages:

sendmail

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2006-0058.
CERT's vulnerabilities, advisories and incident notes: VU#834865.

More information:

Mark Dowd discovered a flaw in the handling of asynchronous signals in sendmail, a powerful, efficient, and scalable mail transport agent. This allows a remote attacker to exploit a race condition to execute arbitrary code as root.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 8.12.3-7.2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.4-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail package immediately.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
