Date Updated:
Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Sidewinder(r) and Sidewinder G2 Firewall(tm) (including all appliances)

Not Vulnerable.

Sidewinder v5.x & Sidewinder G2 v6.x's embedded Type Enforcement(r) technology strictly limits the capabilities of Secure Computing's modified version of the Sendmail code integrated into the firewall's SecureOS operating system. Any attempt to exploit this vulnerability in the Sendmail code running on the firewalls results in an automatic termination of the attacker's connection and multiple Type Enforcement alarms.

Gauntlet(tm) & Gauntlet e-ppliance

Vulnerable.

Gauntlet and Gauntlet e-ppliance firewalls have limited vulnerability to this exploit. The sendmail daemon runs without root privilege, containing the effect of any exploit.

Gauntlet customers should obtain a sendmail patch from the appropriate OS vendor. Gauntlet e-ppliance customers should contact Secure Computing Customer Support for a Gauntlet e-ppliance patch.
