CA-93:16a.README
Issue date: January 7, 1994
Date of last revision: November 7, 1995

This file is a supplement to the CERT Advisory CA-93:16a of January 7, 1994,
and will be 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.

//////////////////
Added November 7, 1995

We have received questions about running smrsh. You should run smrsh with any
UNIX system that is running sendmail, regardless of vendor or version. Even
with Eric Allman's sendmail version 8.6.12, it is necessary for
security-conscious sites to use the smrsh program, as this carries out
preprocessing of mail headers and adds an extra layer of defense by
controlling what programs can be spawned by the incoming mail message. Note
that smrsh has now been included as part of the sendmail distribution
(effective with 8.7).

We also urge you to ensure that all patches are installed for the distribution
of sendmail you are using. Regardless of the vendor or version of your UNIX
systems and sendmail, the general advice to "run the smrsh tool in conjunction
with the most recently patched version of sendmail for your system" holds
true.

Please also review recent CERT advisories concerning sendmail vulnerabilities.

The following is vendor-supplied information.  Please notice that
some entries provide pointers to vendor advisories. For more up-to-date

BSDI

        BSDI can supply either an easy-to-install port of the smrsh patch from
        CERT or a port of sendmail-8.6.4 (contact BSDI Customer Support for

        Sequent customers should call the Sequent Hotline at
        (800) 854-9969 and ask for the Sendmail Maintenance Release Tape.
        Alternatively, ptx customers can upgrade to PTX/TCP/IP 
        version 2.2.3 or 2.3.1 as appropriate.

Silicon Graphics, Inc.

        The sendmail vulnerabilities are fixed in IRIX 5.1.1.3 and later
        systems.  Patches for IRIX 4.* and IRIX 5.* systems are available
        via anonymous FTP from ftp.sgi.com (192.48.153.1) in the directory
        "sgi/IRIX4.0/sendmail" or "sgi/IRIX5.0/sendmail", respectively.
        In each directory are four files:

                README - describes the other files
                sendmail.latest - replacement sendmail binary
                sendmail.cf.latest - sample configuration file
                sendmail.cf.auto.latest - sample auto configuration file

        The sendmail.cf.* files are provided for completeness.
        Sites should be able to continue to use their locally modified
        sendmail.cf files.

        Customers without Internet access should contact the support
        center for their country using the procedures outlined in
        their maintenance agreement for a new sendmail binary.
