Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:058 (sendmail).
A race condition was reported in sendmail in how it handles asynchronous
signals. This could allow a remote attacker to be able to execute arbitrary
code with the rights of the user running sendmail. The updated packages
have been patched to correct this problem via a patch provided by the Sendmail
Consortium via CERT.
