Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:544
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:544. Linuxconf is an administration system which is divided in several modules. The mailconf module is responsible for the sendmail configuration. There is a problem[1] in the sendmail.cf file generated by the mailconf module that allows sendmail to be used as an open relay. By exploiting this vulnerability, a malicious user could send SPAM through the sendmail server without being in its served network. In order to do that, the recipient address of the messages must be in the format user%domain@. Please note that the default sendmail.cf file distributed with our sendmail package is not vulnerable to this open relay problem. Only users who have generated the sendmail.cf file using linuxconf are. For information about mail relay and why it should be configurated properly, please consult the Open Relay Database FAQ [2]. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://distro.conectiva.com.br/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6597 http://www.ordb.org/faq/ http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:544 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
