DSA-1015-1 sendmail Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Mark Dowd discovered a flaw in the handling of asynchronous signals in sendmail, a powerful, efficient, and scalable mail transport agent. This permits a remote attacker to exploit a race condition to execute arbitrary code as root. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 8.12.3-7.2. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.4-3sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.6-1. We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail package immediately.
