The well known and widely used MTA sendmail is vulnerable to a remote denial-of-service attack in version 8.12.8 and earlier (but not before 8.12). The bug exists in the DNS map code. This feature is enabled by specifying FEATURE(`enhdnsbl’). When sendmail receives an invalid DNS response it tries to call free(3) on random data which results in a process crash.
