[slackware-security] sendmail (SSA:2024-031-01)

New sendmail packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
extra/sendmail/sendmail-8.18.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
sendmail through 8.17.2 allows SMTP smuggling in certain configurations.
Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail
messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF
protection mechanism. This occurs because sendmail supports <LF>.<CR><LF>
but some other popular e-mail servers do not. This is resolved in 8.18 and
later versions with 'o' in srv_features.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
extra/sendmail/sendmail-cf-8.18.1-noarch-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
