This file is a supplement to CERT advisory CA-95:05, "Sendmail
Vulnerabilities." It is updated as additional information becomes
available.

Note: After we publish checksums in advisories and READMEs, files are
sometimes updated at individual locations because of system upgrades or patch
installation. For current MD5 checksum values, we recommend that you check
with your vendor.

The text below originally appeared in the advisory.  As of September
18, 1995, the information for Digital Equipment Corporation, IDA,
Solbourne (Grumman), and Sun Microsystems, Inc., has been added or

DETAILED INFORMATION FROM VENDORS

Below is information we have received from vendors who have patches available
or upcoming for the vulnerabilities described in this advisory.

--------------------
Eric Allman

Sendmail version 8.6.10 is not vulnerable.

This version is available by anonymous FTP from

 ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/ucb/sendmail
 ftp.uu.net:/networking/mail/sendmail/UCB
 ftp.cert.dfn.de:/pub/tools/net/sendmail
 info.cert.org:/pub/tools/sendmail/sendmail.8.6.10

In all of the above locations, the md5 checksums are the same,

MD5 (sendmail.8.6.10.base.tar.Z) = 4ab8ac267b1eaf8d1725c14cf4b2e885
MD5 (sendmail.8.6.10.cf.tar.Z) = c70c576697bbbf047ed379a7b98633f6
MD5 (sendmail.8.6.10.misc.tar.Z) = 603154fd1ff4aecb51646a1345f0806d
MD5 (sendmail.8.6.10.patch) = 08d6f977c171ea858f1e940163212c3a
MD5 (sendmail.8.6.10.xdoc.tar.Z) = 8b2252943f365f303b6302b71ef9a841


--------------------
Apple Computer, Inc.

An upgrade to A/UX version 3.1 (and 3.1.1) for these vulnerabilities is
available. The upgrade is a replacement of the sendmail binary. It is
available via anonymous FTP from ftp.support.apple.com:

        pub/abs/aws95/patches/sendmail/

In both cases the compressed binary has the following signature:

        MD5 (sendmail.Z) = 31bb15604517630f46d7444a6cfab3f1

Uncompress(1) this file and replace the existing version in /usr/lib;
be sure to preserve the hard links to /usr/ucb/newaliases and
/usr/ucb/mailq, kill the running sendmail and restart.

Earlier versions of A/UX are not supported by this patch.  Users of
previous versions are encouraged to update their system or compile
the latest version of sendmail available from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu.

Customers should contact their reseller for any additional information.

--------------------
Berkeley Software Design. Inc. (BSDI)

BSD/OS V2.0 is vulnerable to the local user problems,
but not the remote user (IDENT) problem.

All earlier releases of BSD/OS are vulnerable to both
problems.  Patches are being developed and will be
made available via anonymous FTP on ftp.bsdi.com
in the directory "bsdi/support".

IBM Corporation

        A possible security exposure exists in the bos.obj
        sendmail subsystem in all AIX releases.

        The user can cause arbitrary data to
        be written into the sendmail queue file.
        Non-privileged users can affect the delivery of mail, as well as
        run programs as other users.

        Workaround
        A. Apply the patch for this problem. The patch is available
           from software.watson.ibm.com. The files will be located in
           the /pub/aix/sendmail in compressed tar format.

           The MD5 checksum for the binary file is listed
           below, ordinary "sum" checksums follow as well.

           File            sum             MD5 Checksum
           ----            ---             ------------
           sendmail.tar.Z 35990           e172fac410a1b31f3a8c0188f5fd3edb


         B. The official fix for this problem can be ordered as
            Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR) IX49257

            To order an APAR from IBM in the U.S. call 1-800-237-5511
            and ask for shipment as soon as it is available (in
            approximately two weeks).  APARs may be obtained outside the
            U.S. by contacting a local IBM representative.

    The checksums shown above are from the BSD-based checksum
    (on 4.1.x, /bin/sum;  on Solaris 2.x, /usr/ucb/sum) and from
    the SVR4 version on Solaris 2.x (/usr/bin/sum).

Patches can be obtained from local Sun Answer Centers and through
anonymous FTP from ftp.uu.net in the /systems/sun/sun-dist directory. In
Europe, the patches are available from mcsun.eu.net in the /sun/fixes
directory.

The patches are available via World Wide Web at http://sunsolve1.sun.com.
