Subject: [RHSA-2003:120-01] Updated sendmail packages fix vulnerability

---------------------------------------------------------------------
                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated sendmail packages fix vulnerability
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2003:120-01
Issue date:        2003-03-31
Updated on:        2003-03-31
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          sendmail
Cross references:  
Obsoletes:         RHSA-2003:073
CVE Names:         CAN-2003-0161
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated Sendmail packages are available to fix a vulnerability that
allows local and possibly remote attackers to gain root privileges.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386

3. Problem description:

Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA) which is included
in all Red Hat Linux distributions.

There is a vulnerability in Sendmail versions prior to and including 
8.12.8. The address parser performs insufficient bounds checking in certain
conditions due to a char to int conversion, making it possible for an
attacker to take control of the application.  Although no exploit currently
exists, this issue is probably locally exploitable and may also be remotely
exploitable.

All users are advised to update to these erratum packages containing a
backported patch which corrects these vulnerabilities.

Red Hat would like to thank Michal Zalewski for finding and reporting this
issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
