Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: sendmail security update
Notes
Topic
The sendmail packages shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server have a
security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh. This security errata
release fixes the problem.
[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1
Details
SMRSH (the SendMail Restricted SHell) is a /bin/sh replacement for
Sendmail. It provides the ability to limit the set of executable programs
available to Sendmail.
A bug in the version of smrsh packaged as part of Sendmail 8.12.6 and
8.11.6 allows attackers to bypass shrsh's intended restrictions. This
can be done by inserting additional commands after "||" or "/" characters,
which are not properly filtered or verified. A sucessful attack would
allow an attacker who has a local account on a system to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
Because sendmail as shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is not
configured to use smrsh, this issue only affects users who have customized
their sendmail configuration to use smrsh.
Users who have configured sendmail to use smrsh should update to these
errata packages which contain a backported security fix, and are therefore
not vulnerable to this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated sendmail packages fix vulnerabilities
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries
and pSeries systems to fix a vulnerability that allows local and possibly
remote attackers to gain root privileges as well as a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages additionally fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to
use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
A vulnerability exists in unpatched Sendmail versions prior to and
including 8.12.8. The address parser performs insufficient bounds checking
in certain conditions due to a char to int conversion, making it possible
for an attacker to take control of the application. This issue is probably
locally exploitable and may also be remotely exploitable. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0161 to this issue.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by Sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root. A proof-of-concept exploit is reported to exist, but is
not believed to be publicly available.
Since this vulnerability is message-based, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1337 to this issue.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A successful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1165 to this issue.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages containing
backported patches which correct these vulnerabilities.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated sendmail packages fix vulnerabilities
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries
and pSeries systems to fix a vulnerability that allows local and possibly
remote attackers to gain root privileges as well as a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages additionally fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to
use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
A vulnerability exists in unpatched Sendmail versions prior to and
including 8.12.8. The address parser performs insufficient bounds checking
in certain conditions due to a char to int conversion, making it possible
for an attacker to take control of the application. This issue is probably
locally exploitable and may also be remotely exploitable. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0161 to this issue.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by Sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root. A proof-of-concept exploit is reported to exist, but is
not believed to be publicly available.
Since this vulnerability is message-based, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1337 to this issue.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A successful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1165 to this issue.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages containing
backported patches which correct these vulnerabilities.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: sendmail security update
Notes
Topic
The sendmail packages shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server have a
security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh. This security errata
release fixes the problem.
[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1
Details
SMRSH (the SendMail Restricted SHell) is a /bin/sh replacement for
Sendmail. It provides the ability to limit the set of executable programs
available to Sendmail.
A bug in the version of smrsh packaged as part of Sendmail 8.12.6 and
8.11.6 allows attackers to bypass shrsh's intended restrictions. This
can be done by inserting additional commands after "||" or "/" characters,
which are not properly filtered or verified. A sucessful attack would
allow an attacker who has a local account on a system to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
Because sendmail as shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is not
configured to use smrsh, this issue only affects users who have customized
their sendmail configuration to use smrsh.
Users who have configured sendmail to use smrsh should update to these
errata packages which contain a backported security fix, and are therefore
not vulnerable to this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated sendmail packages fix critical security issues
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available to fix a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages also fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA) which is included
in all Red Hat Linux distributions.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root.
We are advised that a proof-of-concept exploit is known to exist, but
is not believed to be in the wild.
Since this is a message-based vulnerability, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A sucessful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages. For Red Hat
Linux 8.0 we have included Sendmail version 8.12.8 which is not vulnerable
to these issues. For all other distributions we have included a backported
patch which corrects these vulnerabilities.
Red Hat would like to thank Eric Allman for his assistance with this
vulnerability.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: sendmail security update
Notes
Topic
The sendmail packages shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server have a
security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh. This security errata
release fixes the problem.
[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1
Details
SMRSH (the SendMail Restricted SHell) is a /bin/sh replacement for
Sendmail. It provides the ability to limit the set of executable programs
available to Sendmail.
A bug in the version of smrsh packaged as part of Sendmail 8.12.6 and
8.11.6 allows attackers to bypass shrsh's intended restrictions. This
can be done by inserting additional commands after "||" or "/" characters,
which are not properly filtered or verified. A sucessful attack would
allow an attacker who has a local account on a system to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
Because sendmail as shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is not
configured to use smrsh, this issue only affects users who have customized
their sendmail configuration to use smrsh.
Users who have configured sendmail to use smrsh should update to these
errata packages which contain a backported security fix, and are therefore
not vulnerable to this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated sendmail packages fix critical security issues
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available to fix a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages also fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA) which is included
in all Red Hat Linux distributions.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root.
We are advised that a proof-of-concept exploit is known to exist, but
is not believed to be in the wild.
Since this is a message-based vulnerability, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A sucessful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages. For Red Hat
Linux 8.0 we have included Sendmail version 8.12.8 which is not vulnerable
to these issues. For all other distributions we have included a backported
patch which corrects these vulnerabilities.
Red Hat would like to thank Eric Allman for his assistance with this
vulnerability.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated sendmail packages fix vulnerabilities
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries
and pSeries systems to fix a vulnerability that allows local and possibly
remote attackers to gain root privileges as well as a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages additionally fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to
use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
A vulnerability exists in unpatched Sendmail versions prior to and
including 8.12.8. The address parser performs insufficient bounds checking
in certain conditions due to a char to int conversion, making it possible
for an attacker to take control of the application. This issue is probably
locally exploitable and may also be remotely exploitable. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0161 to this issue.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by Sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root. A proof-of-concept exploit is reported to exist, but is
not believed to be publicly available.
Since this vulnerability is message-based, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1337 to this issue.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A successful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1165 to this issue.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages containing
backported patches which correct these vulnerabilities.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated sendmail packages fix critical security issues
Notes
Topic
Updated Sendmail packages are available to fix a vulnerability that
may allow remote attackers to gain root privileges by sending a
carefully crafted message.
These packages also fix a security bug if sendmail is configured to use smrsh.
Details
Sendmail is a widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA) which is included
in all Red Hat Linux distributions.
During a code audit of Sendmail by ISS, a critical vulnerability was
uncovered that affects unpatched versions of Sendmail prior to version
8.12.8. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted email message
which, when processed by sendmail, causes arbitrary code to be
executed as root.
We are advised that a proof-of-concept exploit is known to exist, but
is not believed to be in the wild.
Since this is a message-based vulnerability, MTAs other than Sendmail
may pass on the carefully crafted message. This means that unpatched
versions of Sendmail inside a network could still be at risk even if
they do not accept external connections directly.
In addition, the restricted shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail allows attackers to
bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands
after "||" sequences or "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or
verified. A sucessful attack would allow an attacker who has a local
account on a system which has explicitly enabled smrsh to execute arbitrary
binaries as themselves by utilizing their .forward file.
All users are advised to update to these erratum packages. For Red Hat
Linux 8.0 we have included Sendmail version 8.12.8 which is not vulnerable
to these issues. For all other distributions we have included a backported
patch which corrects these vulnerabilities.
Red Hat would like to thank Eric Allman for his assistance with this
vulnerability.
