Email Servers Threatened by Sendmail Vulnerability
Quote:A significant vulnerability has been discovered in the Sendmail open-source e-mail application that could allow attackers to take over control of any devices running the affected software. full article: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1941865,00.asp From Sendmail: Quote:Sendmail, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability of sendmail 8.13.6. It contains a fix for a security problem discovered by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force. Sendmail thanks ISS for bringing this problem to our attention and reviewing the patch for it. sendmail 8.13.6 also includes fixes for other potential problems, see the release notes below for more details. Sendmail urges all users to upgrade to sendmail 8.13.6. If this is not possible, patches for 8.13 (PGP signature) and 8.12 (PGP signature) are availabe at our FTP site. However, note that those patches do not (cleanly) apply to versions other than 8.13.5 and 8.12.11, respectively, because the patch for sendmail/version.c will fail, but that can be ignored. Moreover, these patches may not even work with older version as there have been other changes before. Nevertheless, the patches can be used as a stop-gap measure before eventually upgrading to 8.13.6. full announcement and downloads of Sendmail: http://www.sendmail.org/8.13.6.html |
