Michal Zalewski discovered a buffer overflow, triggered by a char to
int conversion, in the address parsing code in sendmail, a widely used
powerful, efficient, and scalable mail transport agent. This problem
is potentially remotely exploitable.

version 8.12.3+3.5Wbeta-5.4

fixed in version 8.9.3+3.2W-25
