Description Udo Schweigert 1999-12-09 15:40:00 UTC 
There is a bug in sendmail 8.x.x which allows a local user to destroy the
alias database by doing sendmail -bi and immediately sending an signal to
it.

Fix: The attached patch (taken from Debian GNU Linux) fixes the problems (in use
on our Mail-Server without problems for 2 days).

With this patch non-root users (exactly spoken: non-trusted users) 
are not able to rebuild the database (which is to me not a problem).
