-
-
-
- CIAC has been advised of a new vulnerability in the SUN sendmail
-
- program. This vulnerability (SUN bug #1028173) exists in all versions
-
- of SUN OS (version 4.1, 4.0.3 on SUN 3, SUN 4, as well as SUN 386i
-
- systems, for which version 4.0.2 is the most current version). This
-
- vulnerability has been exploited in several recent Internet breakins.
-
-
-
- You may obtain a patch directly from SUN by calling (800) USA-4SUN, or
-
- may obtain SUN 3 and 4 sendmail binaries using anonymous FTP from
-
- uunet.uu.net in the /sun-fixes directory. CIAC can also provide you
-
- with a patch for this vulnerability.
-
-
-
- Recent versions of UNIX systems other than SUN OS systems contain a
-
- sendmail fix. CIAC encourages you to consult with your vendor about
-
- upgrading to a recent release if the version you are running does not
-
- have this fix.
-
-
-
- If you have questions, please contact CIAC.
