[SCO] Buffer Overflow in sendmail - CSSA-2003-016.0



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

soeben erreichte uns nachfolgende Warnung von Caldera International
Inc. ueber Sicherheitsprobleme bei "sendmail". Wir geben diese
Informationen unveraendert an Sie weiter.

Die Schwachstelle wurde bereits im Advisory von CERT/CC (CA-2003-12
vom 31.03.2003) behandelt.

Die Schwachstelle aehnelt dem kuerzlich bekanntgewordenen Heap
Overflow in sendmail (CA-2003-07 vom 04. Maerz 2003), ist mit diesem
jedoch nicht identisch.

Es existiert ein Buffer Overflow im MTA "sendmail" in dem Teil des
Programms, der fuer das Parsen der EMail-Adressen verantwortlich
ist. Durch Senden einer Mail mit einer ueberlangen Adresse koennte ein
Angreifer die Schwachstelle lokal und vermutlich auch ueber das Netz
fuer einen Denial-of-Service-Angriff oder die Ausfuehrung beliebigen
Codes unter der sendmail-UID (meist "root") ausnutzen.

Betroffen sind:

	Open Linux Workstation 3.1 und 3.1.1 und
	Open Linux Server 3.1 und 3.1.1

Der Hersteller stellt Updates zur Verfuegung.

			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: sendmail sign extension buffer overflow (CERT CA-2003-12) 
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-016.0
Issue date: 		2003 April 03
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


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
					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-doc-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to sendmail-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-cf-8.11.6-14.i386.rpm
					prior to sendmail-doc-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.
