sendmail(8)
Systems Affected: Systems running sendmail 8.6.7. See sendmail -d. DG/UX are not at risk for the -oE problem. HP/UX does not support the -oE option. AIX is not vulnerable either to -oE. SCO does not support the -oE option.
Problem: It's possible to read any file on the system with 8.6.7 from the command line. Simply:

	/usr/lib/sendmail -oEfilename_to_read bounce
	From: you_username
Solution: In file src/readcf.c, line 1078

	if (!safe && strchr("bCdeEijLmoprsvw7", opt) == NULL)

Remove the letter 'E' - this makes the option 'E' "unsafe".
