Description Panagiotis Christopoulos (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-05-17 15:21:22 UTC
Sendmail, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability of sendmail 8.14.5. This version fixes a few problems, including:

    * SMTP extensions are no longer cached across connections as the cache is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier for a server, i.e., different machines may have the same hostname but provide different SMTP extensions.
    * An out-of-bounds access is avoided in case a resolver reply for a DNS map lookup returns a size larger than 1K.
    * The interrupt signal handler has been cleaned up to avoid invoking functions that are not signal-safe.
    * At most two AUTH lines are read from a server to avoid a DoS attack against the client (memory exhaustion).

A complete list of changes can be found in the release notes[1]
