Category:	SMTP problems
Title:	Sendmail remote header buffer overflow
Summary:	Checks the version number
Description:	The remote sendmail server, according to its version number, may be vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow allowing remote users to gain root privileges. Sendmail versions from 5.79 to 8.12.7 are vulnerable. Solution : Upgrade to Sendmail ver 8.12.8 or greater or if you cannot upgrade, apply patches for 8.10-12 here: http://www.sendmail.org/patchcr.html NOTE: manual patches do not change the version numbers. Vendors who have released patched versions of sendmail may still falsely show vulnerability. *** OpenVAS reports this vulnerability using only *** the banner of the remote SMTP server. Therefore, *** this might be a false positive. see http://www.iss.net/issEn/delivery/xforce/alertdetail.jsp?oid=21950 http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-07.html http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/398025
