Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Sendmail, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system or potentially compromise it.
The vulnerability is caused due to the use of an uninitialised structure when DNS maps are used. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted DNS reply to an affected system, which may cause it to crash and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability affects version 8.12.8 and prior 8.12.x versions.
