Description Stephen Fromm 2006-03-22 13:59:42 UTC
sendmail-8.13.6 was released to address a recently discovered vulnerability.  To quote the announcement:

   This vulnerability may permit a specifically crafted attack to take 
   over the sendmail MTA process, allowing remote attackers to execute 
   commands and run arbitrary programs on the system running the MTA, 
   affecting email delivery, or tampering with other programs and data 
   on this system....This connection-oriented vulnerability does not 
   occur in the normal course of sending and receiving email.  It is 
   only triggered when specific conditions are created through SMTP 
   connection layer commands.
