There is a bug in sendmail binary easily exploited with a program posted
few hours ago on a security list. All versions of redhat are vulnerable.
This is not an official fix, nor do I take any responsability for it, but
for x86 platfroms only there are fixed RPMs at the folowing URL:
ftp://ftp.sorosis.ro/pub/linux/local/fixes
MD5 sums of the packages:
4ccb131e8ef9b1d1810c557c2e1217d8 sendmail-8.8.2-1.i386.rpm
d849e8bf2825f54463473c64ae72450c sendmail-8.8.2-1.src.rpm
15b2efef4e600eca5f66cc1fbfea3f0a sendmail-cf-8.8.2-1.i386.rpm
4073b4d84261ef3014601e2aa67d28f1 sendmail-doc-8.8.2-1.i386.rpm
All admins of the redhat x86 boxes, please consider upgrading, until
RedHat release an official fix. Also, I beg Alpha and Sparc linux owners
to try to download the src RPM and release binary RPMs for other
platforms.
Best regards and take care,
Cristian Gafton
