Just thought to let you guys know.

http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1210

Summary...


Sendmail has released an advisory related to a vulnerability in all versions of sendmail 8 previous to 8.13.6 of this popular MTA. The advisory includes the commercial versions of products using sendmail.

http://www.sendmail.com/company/advisory/
and it has CVE entry CVE-2006-0058

Impact: the attacker could run arbitrary commands.

Mitigation: upgrade to 8.13.6, apply the patch, or setting the RunAsUser option in the configuration file.

This one looks bad.

yea i dont know what im going to do,

hopefully my toast will pop soon and i'll be able to enjoy my peanutbutter and jam toasts,
i have a 4 slice toaster as i dont like to muck around, when it comes to my toast im pretty hardcore.
i got all the spreads, Marmite(hardcore) Peanut Butter(previously mentioned) Jam(must be refrigerated) Nutella(room temperature) havnt tried Cheese Spread as it sounds alil too cheesy for me.
also Vegimite is teh gay, tastes weird and i dont like it for its tasty weirdness.

i also like toasty pops

my favourite sendmail story is when redhat nearly got fired trying to spoof an email at work from a client, problem was he sent the joke email to the client and they got very upset and he nearly got fired

i still laugh about that today

The game's up Jim, everybody knows traceroute is the ultimate internet diagnosis tool. If traceroute shows the last hop as 'syd4.ausgamers.com' then obviously it's not running qmail.
