Fedora Core: 5 Sendmail 8.13.6 Critical Arbitrary Code Execution

The Sendmail program is a very widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).

MTAs send mail from one machine to another. Sendmail is not a client

program, which you use to read your email. Sendmail is a

behind-the-scenes program which actually moves your email over

networks or the Internet to where you want it to go.

If you ever need to reconfigure Sendmail, you will also need to have

the sendmail.cf package installed. If you need documentation on

Sendmail, you can install the sendmail-doc package.

Fixes CVE-2006-0058:

A flaw in the handling of asynchronous signals.

A remote attacker may be able to exploit a race condition to

execute arbitrary code as root.

- new version 8.13.6 (fixes VU#834865)

- dropped libmilter-sigwait patch (fixed in 8.13.6)
