Sendmail fails to handle malformed multipart MIME messages

Vulnerability Note VU#146718

Original Release Date: 2006-06-14 | Last Revised: 2011-07-22

Overview

Sendmail does not properly handle malformed multipart MIME messages. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition.

Description

Sendmail

Sendmail is a widely used mail transfer agent (MTA).

Mail Transfer Agents (MTA)


MTAs are responsible for sending and receiving email messages over the internet. They are also referred to as mail servers or SMTP servers.

The Problem

Sendmail fails to properly handle malformed multipart MIME messages. This vulnerability may be triggered by sending a specially crafted message to a vulnerable Sendmail MTA.

Impact

This vulnerability will not cause the Sendmail server process to terminate. However, it may cause the Sendmail to consume a large amount of system resources. Specifically, if a system writes uniquely named core dump files, this vulnerability may cause available disk space to be filled with core dumps leading to a disruption of system operation resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
Additionally, this vulnerability may cause queue runs to abort; if this situation were to occur, processing and delivery of queued messages would be prevented.

Solution

Upgrade Sendmail
This issue is corrected in Sendmail version 8.13.7.


The following workarounds were provided by Sendmail:

Limit message size

Limiting the maximum message size accepted by your server (via the sendmail MaxMessageSize option) will mitigate this vulnerability.

Remove stack size limit

If your operating system limits stack size, remove that limit. This will make the attack more difficult to accomplish, as it will require a very large message. Also, by limiting the maximum message size accepted by your server (via the sendmail MaxMessageSize option), you can eliminate the attack completely.

Configure your MTA to avoid the negative impacts listed above:

    • Disable core dumps.
    • Enable the ForkEachJob option at the cost of lower queue run performance and potentially a high number of processes.
    • Set QueueSortOrder to random, which will randomize the order jobs are processed. Note that with random queue sorting, the bad message will still be processed and the queue run aborted every time, but at a different, random spot.

NetBSD Affected

Notified:  May 09, 2006 Updated: June 15, 2006

Statement Date:   June 14, 2006

Status

Affected

Vendor Statement

In response to this and previous issues, Sendmail was removed entirely from the NetBSD-current base system on 2006-05-30. The default MTA has been switched to Postfix. These changes will be included in NetBSD 4.0 and later releases in order to minimise the risk and maintenance burden for any future sendmail issues.

Sendmail remains in the base distribution for the presently maintained release branches, NetBSD 2.* and 3.*, and fixes for this issue have been applied. Sendmail remains as a supported MTA for users of all NetBSD versions (and many other platforms) via pkgsrc.

Details of these fixes and further advice has been published in NetBSD Security Advisory 2006-017.

Vendor Information

We are not aware of further vendor information regarding this vulnerability.

Red Hat, Inc. Affected

Notified:  May 09, 2006 Updated: June 14, 2006

Statement Date:   June 14, 2006

Status

Affected

Vendor Statement

Red Hat distributes Sendmail in all Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. By default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sendmail is configured to only accept connections from the local host. Therefore, only users who have configured Sendmail to listen to remote hosts would be remotely vulnerable to this denial of service issue.

Updated Sendmail packages will shortly be available along with our advisory at the URL below. At the same time users of the Red Hat Network will be able to update their systems using the 'up2date' tool.

Sidewinder G2 Security Appliance

Not Vulnerable

The standard defensive coding and configuration practices used on the Sidewinder G2 Security Appliance preve
nt this attack from interrupting the flow of mail through the system. In a standard configuration, attack m
essages will be rejected as invalid without causing an abnormal termination of sendmail. Due to the defensi
ve design of the system, even if an attack message were able to cause an instance of sendmail to terminate,
it would not prevent other messages from being delivered.

As a matter of best practices and defense in depth, the sendmail update will be included in a future patch.
