Re: FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-08:02.libc



Topic: inet_network() buffer overflow

For the "usual suspects" of applications running, (e.g. sendmail, apache,
BIND etc) would it be possible to pass crafted packets through to this
function remotely via those apps ? ie how easy is this to do ?

Speaking solely for sendmail, this issue does not appear to impact
sendmail or any utilities/libraries in the sendmail distribution.
Nothing in the sendmail distribution calls inet_network() or getnet*()
(which appears to use inet_network() in libc).
