I recently trashed my hard drive and lost everything. I was attemping to find out more info on the security hole which caused 2.1.7 to be issued. What exactly was the problem? I seem to recall it was something to do with sendmail. If the hole is limited to sendmail was is it just on the FreeBSD port, or does this hole effect ALL other OS's running sendmail and which version(s) of sendmail are effected? Thanks in advance.
