The vulnerability has been reported to present itself, due to an inefficient implementation of a header prescan algorithm. A remote attacker may reportedly deny service to legitimate users by sending specially crafted emails to the affected service. *** November 20, 2003 - This BID was erroneously updated today regarding the release of IBM AIX APARs released to address the Sendmail vulnerability described in BID 8641. The appropriate updates and changes have been made. |
