Subject: security hole in sendmail A race condition exists in sendmail's handling of asynchronous signals. A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary source code with the privileges of the user running sendmail, typically root. The fixes have been applied to the 3.7-stable, 3.8-stable and 3.9-stable branches, and are also available as patches. 3.9-current has been updated to the new sendmail version which has this addressed as well. Patches for the respective releases: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.9/common/001_sendmail.patch ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.8/common/006_sendmail.patch ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.7/common/012_sendmail.patch
