A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the address parsing code in all versions of sendmail prior to 8.12.10 by Michal Zalewski, with a patch to fix the problem provided by Todd C. Miller. This vulnerability seems to be remotely exploitable on Linux systems running on the x86 platform; the sendmail team is unsure of other platforms (CAN-2003-0694).

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory

Problem Description:
A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the address parsing
code in all versions of sendmail prior to 8.12.10 by Michal Zalewski,
with a patch to fix the problem provided by Todd C. Miller. This
vulnerability seems to be remotely exploitable on Linux systems running
on the x86 platform; the sendmail team is unsure of other platforms
(CAN-2003-0694).
Another potential buffer overflow was fixed in ruleset parsing which is
not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration. A problem may
occur if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or mailer-
specific envelope recipients rulesets are use. This problem was
discovered by Timo Sirainen (CAN-2003-0681).
MandrakeSoft encourages all users who use sendmail to upgrade to the
provided packages which are patched to fix both problems.
