Package        : sendmail
Vulnerability  : buffer overflows
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0681 CAN-2003-0694

Two vulnerabilities were reported in sendmail.

 - CAN-2003-0681

   A "potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing" for Sendmail
   8.12.9, when using the nonstandard rulesets (1) recipient (2),
   final, or (3) mailer-specific envelope recipients, has unknown
   consequences.

 - CAN-2003-0694

  The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to
  execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated
  using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
sendmail version 8.12.3-6.6 and sendmail-wide version
8.12.3+3.5Wbeta-5.5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
sendmail version 8.12.10-1.

We recommend that you update your sendmail package.
