Posted Aug 17, 1999

Time to upgrade your Sun 5.5.1 and 5.6 sendmail software to version 8.8.8. Sun describes it as "taking advantage of new security enhancements"; I call it "plugging all the security holes in v8.6.9". :)

1. Bulletins Topics

Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 2.6 and 2.5.1
(SunOS 5.6 and 5.5.1) containing Sun's implementation of
version 8.8.8 sendmail.

Sun recommends that customers running SunOS 5.6 and 5.5.1 install the
patches listed in section 4 to take advantage of the security
enhancements found in version 8.8.8 sendmail.

2. Understanding What is Available

sendmail is a mail transfer agent, Copyright (C) Eric Allman and the
University of California, which is freely available. Their base version
is commonly known as "Berkeley sendmail", as opposed to various vendors'
versions of sendmail (including Sun's). SunOS 5.6 and 5.5.1 originally
included version 8.6.9 of Berkeley sendmail, with Sun enhancements
added.

Various security related improvements were made in version 8.8.8 of
Berkeley sendmail, including improvements relating to email spam and
bombs, and email relaying. Sun's implementation of version 8.8.8 sendmail
includes enhancements to address subsequently identified security
vulnerabilities and support for V1/Sun configuration files, used in
Sun's version of 8.6.9 sendmail.

3. Support for Sun's sendmail

With this release of version 8.8.8 sendmail, Sun will stop support
for version 8.6.9 sendmail for SunOS 5.6 and 5.5.1.

4. List of Patches

Sun's implementation of version 8.8.8 sendmail is provided for SunOS 5.6
and 5.5.1 via these patches:
