-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Proofpoint, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability of sendmail 8.14.9. This release fixes one security related bug by properly closing file descriptors (except stdin, stdout, and stderr) before executing programs. This bug could enable local users to interfere with an open SMTP connection if they can execute their own program for mail delivery (e.g., via procmail or the prog mailer). Please send bug reports and general feedback to one of the addresses listed at: http://www.sendmail.org/email-addresses.html The version can be found at ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.14.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.14.9.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.14.9.tar.Z ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.14.9.tar.Z.sig MD5 signatures: 754a83f885e1b045ad4f3042bf47e997 sendmail.8.14.9.tar.Z 07a6a19f3794482b6a5eb050ad8a30be sendmail.8.14.9.tar.Z.sig 6a3bdceffa592316f830be289a4bd783 sendmail.8.14.9.tar.gz c69478025062e5d17e9fc04df5ce1e91 sendmail.8.14.9.tar.gz.sig You either need the first two files or the third and fourth, i.e., the gzip'ed version or the compressed version and the corresponding sig file. The PGP signature was created using the Sendmail Signing Key/2014, available on the web site (http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/download/) or on the public key servers.
