1. Problem Description
From CERT CA-2003-12: There is a vulnerability in sendmail that
can be exploited to cause a denial-of-service condition and
could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the sendmail daemon, typically root.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
