+Package: sendmail
+Vulnerability: remote root exploit
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= sendmail-8.12.8-20030328 >= sendmail-8.12.9-20030329
+OpenPKG 1.2 <= sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.1 >= sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.2
+
+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ According to a message on BugTraq [1], a buffer overflow vulnerability
+ exists in all version of the Sendmail MTA [0] earlier than 8.12.9.
+ Attackers may remotely exploit this vulnerability to gain "root"
+ or superuser control of any vulnerable Sendmail server. The Common
+ Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
+ CAN-2003-0161 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm
+ -q sendmail". If you have the "sendmail" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade
+ it (see Solution) and it's dependent packages (see above), if any,
+ too. [3][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
+ RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following
+ operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
+ adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
+ ftp> get sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.2.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.2.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/sendmail-8.12.7-1.2.2.*.rpm
+
+ Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
+ all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [3][4]
