Mac OS X security hole

[T. Patrick Henebry]

Folks,

There is a security hole in sendmail that could turn out to be quite 
nasty for some. It affects a number of Unix and Linux variants.  This 
includes Apple's Mac OS X.

Apple has made a patch available through Software Update (the update 
from Apple also addresses an SSH issue) See:

http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-07.html

for details and a vendor list. If your vendor isn't listed I would 
still contact them to see if they have a fix.

Also sendmail.org has a new version of sendmail available that fixes 
the hole, as well as patches for older versions at:

http://sendmail.org

Sendmail is almost universal among Unix and Linux distributions I 
strongly suggest everyone take steps to patch this security hole.
