Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sendmail, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is cause due to an error in the termination of the recursive "mime8to7()" function when performing MIME conversions. This can be exploited to cause a certain sendmail process to crash when it runs out of stack space while processing a deeply nested malformed MIME message.
Successful exploitation causes the delivery of other queued messages to fail or causes the generated core dump files to fill up available disk space.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 8.13.6 and prior.
