Mandrake alert: Updated sendmail packages fix smrsh insecurities
A vulnerability was discovered by zen-parse and Pedram Amini in the sendmail MTA. They found two ways to exploit smrsh, an application intended as a replacement for the sh shell for use with sendmail; the first by inserting specially formatted commands in the ~/.forward file and secondly by calling smrsh directly with special options. These can be exploited to give users with no shell account, or those not permitted to execute certain programs or commands, the ability to bypass these restrictions.

FTP mirrors can be obtained from:
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ftp.php
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
All packages are signed by MandrakeSoft for security. You can obtain
the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team from:
https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
