CVE Name: CVE-2006-1173
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit
<URL:http://security.freebsd.org/>.
I. Background
FreeBSD includes sendmail(8), a general purpose internetwork mail
routing facility, as the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).
II. Problem Description
A suitably malformed multipart MIME message can cause sendmail to exceed
predefined limits on its stack usage.
III. Impact
An attacker able to send mail to, or via, a server can cause queued
messages on the system to not be delivered, by causing the sendmail process
which handles queued messages to crash. Note that this will not stop new
messages from entering the queue (either from local processes, or incoming
via SMTP).
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems which do not receive email from
untrusted sources are not vulnerable.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4-STABLE, 5-STABLE, or 6-STABLE,
or to the RELENG_6_1, RELENG_6_0, RELENG_5_5, RELENG_5_4, RELENG_5_3,
or RELENG_4_11 security branch dated after the correction date.
2) To patch your present system:
The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 4.11, 5.3,
5.4, 5.5, 6.0, and 6.1 systems.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-06:17/sendmail.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-06:17/sendmail.patch.asc
b) Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
# make obj && make depend && make
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
# make obj && make depend && make
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
