1. Problem Description
From the iDEFENSE Security Advisory 10.01.02:
It is possible for an attacker to bypass the restrictions
imposed by The Sendmail Consortium's Restricted Shell (SMRSH)
and execute a binary of his choosing by inserting a special
character sequence into his .forward file. SMRSH is an
application intended as a replacement for sh for use in
Sendmail.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
