Patch issued for critical Sendmail flaw
I work at my local ISP and we had massive troubles with our mail service so i decided to look up on the net to see if i could find a fix. I found this so i wanted to post it for others users who are having the same problem. The problem the my ISP was haveing was mostly sending mail. You would have to try to send about 15 time before it would do it successfully. If your having any problems with SENDMAIL that might be the problem.
A critical vulnerability has been found in Sendmail, the most widely used mail server software.
The vulnerability allows attackers to take control of servers using Sendmail, which is commonly used on Linux, Unix and BSD systems.
The discovery and subsequent disclosure of the security flaw comes one day after serious security problems in the OpenSSH secure shell server software were disclosed. Unlike that discovery, there has been little talk of the vulnerability being exploited prior to the issue of the new Sendmail release.
It's the third time this year that a serious vulnerability has been found in Sendmail software, and the second reported by Michal Zalewski, the researcher that posted the most recent bug. The earlier bug was found by Internet Security Systems in early March.
