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
