Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.1.2010.1985
Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1985-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sendmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-1985-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sendmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-1985-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that sendmail, a Mail Transport Agent, does not properly handle a '0' character in a Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate. This allows an attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL-based SMTP servers via a crafted server certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, and to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted client certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.8-3+etch1 For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 8.14.3-5+lenny1 For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 8.14.3-9.1, and will migrate to the testing distribution (squeeze) shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail package. Affected Software/OS: 'sendmail' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
