Package        : sendmail
Vulnerability  : pre-set password
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0833

Hugo Espuny discovered a problem in sendmail, a commonly used program
to deliver electronic mail.  When installing "sasl-bin" to use sasl in
connection with sendmail, the sendmail configuration script use fixed
user/pass information to initialise the sasl database.  Any spammer
with Debian systems knowledge could utilise such a sendmail
installation to relay spam.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 8.12.3-7.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 8.13.1-13.

We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail package.

- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
