We will be putting out an emergency 9.1 patch release this evening in
order to fix a recently discovered remote hole in sendmail. There are
no other changes in the patch release.
If you are running a server or other machine which is disruptive to
update, you should are most likely okay without taking the update as
long as your machine is not running a sendmail daemon. (Most machines
don't, but look for "mail" in /var/server/.services if you have one,
check the value if SENDMAIL is true in /etc/athena/rc.conf, and check
the process table for a running "sendmail -bd" process.)
If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
