Beschreibung:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2001:412. Sendmail is a largely used Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). Versions between (and including) 8.10.0 and 8.11.5 and some 8.12 beta versions have a local vulnerability that allows a local attacker to obtain root privileges. Cade Cairns from Security Focus discovered an input validation error in sendmail's debugging functionality. The function that handles the -d command line option uses a signed integer for that value and uses it as an index to an internal vector. This function does not check for negative values of this index, which allows a local attacker to cause a signed integer overflow by supplying large numbers to this parameter which can be used to write data outside that vector. Exploits for this vulnerability have already been published. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2001:412 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002001 Risk factor : High
