Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:53 EST
There is a bug in the prescan() function of Sendmail versions prior to and including 8.12.9. The sucessful exploitation of this bug can lead to heap and stack structure overflows. Although no exploit currently exists, this issue is locally exploitable and may also be remotely exploitable. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0694 to this issue.
