Sendmail, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability
of sendmail 8.14.5. This version fixes a few problems, including:

 o SMTP extensions are no longer cached across connections as the
   cache is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier for
   a server, i.e., different machines may have the same hostname but
   provide different SMTP extensions.

 o An out-of-bounds access is avoided in case a resolver reply for a DNS
   map lookup returns a size larger than 1K.

 o The interrupt signal handler has been cleaned up to avoid invoking
   functions that are not signal-safe.

 o At most two AUTH lines are read from a server to avoid
   a DoS attack against the client (memory exhaustion).


A complete list of changes can be found in the release notes (see
below).

Please send bug reports and general feedback to one of the addresses
listed at: http://www.sendmail.org/email-addresses.html

This listing shows the version of the sendmail binary, the version
of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
summary of the changes in that release.

8.14.5/8.14.5	2011/05/17
	Do not cache SMTP extensions across connections as the cache
		is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier
		for a server, i.e., different machines may have the
		same hostname but provide different SMTP extensions.
		Problem noted by Jim Hermann.
	Avoid an out-of-bounds access in case a resolver reply for a DNS
		map lookup returns a size larger than 1K.  Based on a
		patch from Dr. Werner Fink of SuSE.
	If a job is aborted using the interrupt signal (e.g., control-C from
		the keyboard), perform minimal cleanup to avoid invoking
		functions that are not signal-safe. Note: in previous
		versions the mail might have been queued up already
		and would be delivered subsequently, now an interrupt
		will always remove the queue files and thus prevent
		delivery.
	Per RFC 6176, when operating as a TLS client, do not offer SSLv2.
	Since TLS session resumption is never used as a client, disable
		use of RFC 4507-style session tickets.
	Work around gcc4 versions which reverse 25 years of history and
		no longer align char buffers on the stack, breaking calls
		to resolver functions on strict alignment platforms.
		Found by Stuart Henderson of OpenBSD.
	Read at most two AUTH lines from a server greeting (up to two
		lines are read because servers may use "AUTH mechs" and
		"AUTH=mechs"). Otherwise a malicious server may exhaust
		the memory of the client.  Bug report by Nils of MWR
		InfoSecurity.
	Avoid triggering an assertion in the OpenLDAP code when the
		connection to an LDAP server is lost while making a query.
		Problem noted and patch provided by Andy Fiddaman.
	If ConnectOnlyTo is set and sendmail is compiled with NETINET6
		it would try to use an IPv6 address if an IPv4 (or
		unparseable) address is specified.
	If SASLv2 is used, make sure that the macro {auth_authen} is
		stored in xtext format to avoid problems with parsing
		it.  Problem noted by Christophe Wolfhugel.
	CONFIG: FEATURE(`ldap_routing') in 8.14.4 tried to add a missing
		-T<TMPF> that is required, but failed for some cases
		that did not use LDAP.  This change has been undone
		until a better solution can be implemented.  Problem
		found by Andy Fiddaman.
	CONFIG: Add cf/ostype/solaris11.m4 for Solaris11 support.
		Contributed by Casper Dik of Oracle.
	CONTRIB: qtool.pl: Deal with H entries that do not have a
		letter between the question marks.  Patch from
		Stefan Christensen.
	DOC: Use a better description for the -i option in sendmail.
		Patch from Mitchell Berger.
	Portability:
		Add support for Darwin 10.x (Mac OS X 10.6).
		Enable HAVE_NANOSLEEP for FreeBSD 3 and later.  Patch
		from John Marshall.
		Enable HAVE_NANOSLEEP for OpenBSD 4.3 and later.
		Use new directory "/system/volatile" for PidFile on
		Solaris 11.  Patch from Casper Dik of Oracle.
		Fix compilation on Solaris 11 (and maybe some other
		OSs) when using OpenSSL 1.0.  Based on patch from
		Jan Pechanec of Oracle.
		Set SOCKADDR_LEN_T and SOCKOPT_LEN_T to socklen_t
		for Solaris 11.  Patch from Roger Faulkner of Oracle.
	New Files:
		cf/ostype/solaris11.m4
