Um, I beg to differ. At least according to the advisory. Quoting the advisory (at http://lwn.net/Alerts/24201/): -=-=-= All users are advised to update to these erratum packages. For Red Hat Linux 8.0 we have included Sendmail version 8.12.8 which is not vulnerable to these issues. For all other distributions we have included a backported patch which corrects these vulnerabilities. -=-=-= That to me says that they have provided an upgraded version of sendmail (from 8.12.5 which is vulnerable to 8.12.8 which is not vulnerable) for Red Hat 8.0. The 'which is not vulnerable' refers to the newer version of sendmail, not to Red Hat 8.0. Errata for all other releases are not version 8.12.8 of sendmail, but rather a backported patch of the older sendmail included with those releases. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
