It had to happen eventually. The furry toothed critters at ISS’s X-Force have discovered a vulnerability in Sendmail. This would allow attackers to gain full access to the affected networks.
“Due to its high popularity and extensive deployment throughout the internet, this vulnerability represents a serious risk to organisations that rely on Sendmail for email services,” said Gunter Ollmann, director of ISS X-Force, which discovered the flaw.
Been there before with the 1988 Morris Worm.
