security advisory critical fix memory leak integer overflow Sendmail mail transfer agent
Version 8.14.4 of Sendmail, the open source mail transfer agent (MTA), includes fixes for several security vulnerabilities including some integer overflows, memory leaks and for the SSL NUL character problem disclosed in mid 2009. The release also corrects a resolution error where an apparently valid host name lookup contained a NULL pointer; this problem caused crashes on some Linux versions of the software. The update also includes a number of corrections for several non-security issues. [All of article]
