Log Message:
Update sendmail to address the current security issue
Bump to nb2
This will change the internal version of sendmail to 8.13.5.20060308
> SECURITY: Replace unsafe use of setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in the server
> and client side of sendmail with timeouts in the libsm I/O
> layer and fix problems in that code. Also fix handling of
> a buffer in sm_syslog() which could have been used as an
> attack vector to exploit the unsafe handling of
> setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in combination with signals.
> Problem detected by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force.
> Handle theoretical integer overflows that could triggered if
> the server accepted headers larger than the maximum
> (signed) integer value. This is prevented in the default
> configuration by restricting the size of a header, and on
> most machines memory allocations would fail before reaching
> those values. Problems found by Phil Brass of ISS.
