There is another new sendmail patch available from the patches
server or via the ftp archive at;
ftp://ftp.bsdi.com/bsdi/patches/patches-2.1/U210-029
This patch updates sendmail to the latest version (fixing the
bug that's been getting lots of press on bsdi-users over the past
couple of days).
Here's the README file entry:
PATCH:
U210-029
SUMMARY:
This patch updates sendmail to the official 8.8.3 release which
fixes some security problems from previous versions (mainly
the "root shell by lying about argv[0] and sending a signal" bug
found by Leshka Zakharoff <leshka@leshka.chuvashia.su> and recently
posted to the bsdi-users@BSDI.COM mailing list).
