There is another security fix for sendmail in patch U210-036.
This patch updates sendmail to the latest version (8.8.5, released 1/21/96).
In addition, there is a new version of the U210-035 patch for talkd that
fixes a problem in the source version of the patch. If you have
previously applied the binary version of the talkd patch (U210-035),
you do not need to get the new version (the binary patch is identical
to the old version).
The README file entries for the patches are included below.
BSDI always appreciates being advised of security problems. Please
send reports of suspected security problems to bsdi-security@BSDI.COM.
The patches are available via ftp at:
ftp://ftp.bsdi.com/bsdi/patches/patches-2.1
or via the <patches@BSDI.COM> email server.
