DESCRIPTION:
ISS X-Force has reported a vulnerability in Sendmail, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a signal handling error when
receiving and processing mail data from clients. This can be
exploited to corrupt memory by sending specially crafted data at
certain time intervals.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the sendmail server daemon.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products:
* Sendmail 8.13.5 and prior
* Sendmail 8.12.11 and prior
* Sendmail Sentrion 1.1
* Sendmail Switch 2.x, 3.0.x, and 3.1.x (Solaris, Linux, AIX, and
HP-UX)
* Sendmail Managed MTA 2.x, 3.0.x, and 3.1.x (Solaris, Linux, AIX,
and HP-UX)
* Sendmail Multi-Switch 2.x, 3.0.x, and 3.1.x (Solaris, Linux, AIX,
and HP-UX)
* Sendmail Message Store/SAMS 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x
(Solaris, Linux, AIX, and HP-UX)
* Intelligent Quarantine 3.0 (Solaris or Linux)

SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.13.6 or apply patch.
