While this is a real security hole and I agree that the patch should 
be applied, please note that by default sendmail is NOT enabled on 
Mac OS X, so that unless you've enabled it, you don't have to be 
concerned that someone may have already used this vulnerability 
against you.

That said, I second the recommendation to apply the patch.  I've 
applied it to both of my OS X 10.2.4 systems without any apparent 
problems.
