Name        : sendmail
Versions    : rh73: sendmail-8.12.11-4.22.10.legacy
Versions    : rh9: sendmail-8.12.11-4.24.3.legacy
Versions    : fc1: sendmail-8.12.11-4.25.3.legacy
Summary     : A widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
Description :
The Sendmail program is a very widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
MTAs send mail from one machine to another. Sendmail is not a client
program, which you use to read your email. Sendmail is a
behind-the-scenes program which actually moves your email over
networks or the Internet to where you want it to go.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Updated sendmail packages that fix a flaw in the handling of asynchronous
signals are now available.

A flaw in the handling of asynchronous signals was discovered in
Sendmail. A remote attacker may be able to exploit a race condition to
execute arbitrary code as root. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project assigned the name CVE-2006-0058 to this issue.

In order to correct this issue for RHL 7.3 users, it was necessary to
upgrade the version of Sendmail from 8.11 as originally shipped to
Sendmail 8.12.11 with the addition of the security patch supplied by
Sendmail Inc. This erratum provides updated packages based on Sendmail
8.12 with a compatibility mode enabled as provided by Red Hat for
RHEL 2.1. After updating to these packages, users should pay close
attention to their sendmail logs to ensure that the upgrade completed
sucessfully.

In order to correct this issue for RHL 9 and FC1 users, it was necessary
to upgrade the version of Sendmail from 8.12.8 and 8.12.10 respectively
to 8.12.11 with the addition of the security patch supplied by Sendmail
Inc. After updating to these packages, users should pay close attention
to their sendmail logs to ensure that the upgrade completed sucessfully.

Users of Sendmail should upgrade to this updated package, which contains
a backported patch to correct this issue.
