Affected

Vendor Statement

The Fedora Project distributes Sendmail packages in Fedora Core 4 and 5. By default on Fedora Core systems, Sendmail is configured to only accept connections locally. Only users who had configured Sendmail to listen to remote hosts and opened their firewall would have been potentially vulnerable to this issue. Additionally in Fedora Core 5, the Sendmail daemon has protection of a SELinux targeted policy by default.

Updates are available for Fedora Core 4 and 5 to correct this flaw, please see

Vendor Statement

Red Hat distributes Sendmail packages in all Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. Red Hat was provided with a patch for this issue in advance by the Sendmail security team, but we have not been able to verify if this issue is actually exploitable on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.

By default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sendmail is configured to only accept connections locally. Only users who had configured Sendmail to listen to remote hosts and opened their firewall would have been potentially vulnerable to this issue.

Updates are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux to correct this flaw. Updated Sendmail packages along with our advisory are available at the URL below and by using the Red Hat Network 'up2date' tool.

Vendor Statement

Sendmail Consortium

The Sendmail Consortium strongly recommends that Open Source sendmail users upgrade to 8.13.6 whenever possible. If that is not possible, source code patches are available for 8.12.11 and 8.13.5, but these are fairly extensive and may be difficult to apply cleanly. There are no patches available for 8.11, nor will there be, since 8.11 and earlier versions do not have the necessary support infrastructure.

Further information is available at http://www.sendmail.org.

Sendmail, Inc.

Sendmail, Inc. recommends patching commercial products incorporating the sendmail MTA (including all current versions of Sendmail Switch, Sendmail Multi-Switch, Sendmail Managed MTA, and Sendmail Message Store/SAMS on all systems except Windows, as well as Sendmail Sentrion. Free patches and/or upgrades are available to all Sendmail customers, regardless of support status. Customers will be required to upgrade to the latest product version.
