Package : sendmail
Vulnerability : pre-set password
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0833
Hugo Espuny discovered a problem in sendmail, a commonly used program
to deliver electronic mail. When installing "sasl-bin" to use sasl in
connection with sendmail, the sendmail configuration script use fixed
user/pass information to initialise the sasl database. Any spammer
with Debian systems knowledge could utilise such a sendmail
installation to relay spam.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 8.12.3-7.1.
