Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Wed Sep 17 10:10:26 PDT 2003
patches/packages/sendmail-8.12.10-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.12.10.
 This fixes security issues as noted in Sendmail's RELEASE_NOTES:

 'SECURITY: Fix a buffer overflow in address parsing. Problem
 detected by Michal Zalewski, patch from Todd C. Miller
 of Courtesan Consulting.
 Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing. This problem
 is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration,
 only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or
 mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then a
 problem may occur. Problem noted by Timo Sirainen.'

 We recommend that sites running Sendmail upgrade immediately.

 (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/sendmail-cf-8.12.10-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to config files
 for sendmail-8.12.10.
