                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           sendmail
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:086
Date:                   August 26th, 2003

Affected versions:	8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in all 8.12.x versions of sendmail up to
 and including 8.12.8.  Due to wrong initialization of RESOURCE_RECORD_T
 structures, if sendmail receives a bad DNS reply it will call free() on
 random addresses which usually causes sendmail to crash.
 
 These updated packages are patched to fix the problem.
