Package        : sendmail-wide
Vulnerability  : char-to-int conversion
Problem-Type   : local, maybe remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0161
CERT advisories: VU#897604 CA-2003-12

Michal Zalewski discovered a buffer overflow, triggered by a char to
int conversion, in the address parsing code in sendmail, a widely used
powerful, efficient, and scalable mail transport agent.  This problem
is potentially remotely exploitable.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 8.12.3+3.5Wbeta-5.4

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been
fixed in version 8.9.3+3.2W-25

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been
fixed in version 8.12.9+3.5Wbeta-1

We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail-wide packages.
