every sendmail 8.x older than approx. 2 weeks is vulnerable
the vulnerability goes down to version 5.x (sendmail, not aix ;-)

probably you are also vulnerable if sendmail is not running in
daemonmode!

Subject: More on sendmail

This is from the CERT website:

<IBM Corporation
The AIX operating system is vulnerable to the sendmail
issues discussed in releases 4.3.3, 5.1.0 and 5.2.0. >

Does this mean that versions of AIX prior to 4.3.3 are
not affected? I'm running AIX 4.3.2 and sendmail
8.8.8 on two servers.

The CERT annoucement goes on to say:

<A temporary patch is available through an efix
package which can be found at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/sendmail_efix.tar.Z

IBM will provide the following official fixes:

APAR number for AIX 4.3.3: IY40500 (available approx.
03/12/2003)
APAR number for AIX 5.1.0: IY40501 (available approx.
04/28/2003)
APAR number for AIX 5.2.0: IY40502 (available approx. 04/28/2003)>

TIA.
