Buffer Overflow in Sendmail

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the put-on-your-hardhat-and-rebuild dept.

ChiefArcher writes "On the footsteps of openssh, Sendmail 8.12.10 has just been released due to a buffer overflow in address parsing. Sendmail states this is potentially remotely exploitable. No updates on the Sendmail site yet, but the FTP site has the release notes."

    Hey, I'm having a little trouble here remembering whose shitty code was responsible for the massive, Internet-slowing, computer-destroying, power-grid-decimating computer virus we all had to deal with last month. And then again two weeks later.

    Could you refresh me? Was it Microsoft, or sendmail?
