|
|
iDEFENSE reported that the AddressFromAtPtr function in the
|
|
sendmail program fails to check bounds on arguments passed from other
|
|
functions, and as a result an exploitable stack overflow condition
|
|
occurs when specifying the "-t" command line option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker can make a malicious call to sendmail,
|
|
potentially resulting in code execution with elevated privileges.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Xmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-mta/xmail-1.22"</code>
