Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/sendmail-8.14.9-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This release fixes one security related bug by properly closing file
descriptors (except stdin, stdout, and stderr) before executing programs.
This bug could enable local users to interfere with an open SMTP
connection if they can execute their own program for mail delivery
(e.g., via procmail or the prog mailer).
