Detail
| The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 8294 | Sendmail NOCHAR Control Value prescan Overflow A remote overflow exists in Sendmail. Due to a vulnerable char to int conversion it is possible to use the NOCHAR control value to bypass the length check done by the prescan function resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
