Re: Sendmail 8.7, 8.7.1

Who knows what the root-shell-giving security hole is in Sendmail 8.6.12
that was incompletely patched in 8.7, and (supposedly) finally patched
in 8.7.1?


It's just syslog() overruning the stack again.  There's also another problem
which causes the datas segment to be overrun, but that's not as easy
to abuse (if at all).
