CVE ID : CVE-2006-1173
CERT advisory : VU#146718
BugTraq ID : 18433

Frank Sheiness discovered that a MIME conversion routine in sendmail,
a powerful, efficient, and scalable mail transport agent, could be
tricked by a specially crafted mail to perform an endless recursion.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
