Sendmail slammed by security bug
Well, here's one Windows admins can probably feel smug about. Apparently, a serious bug exists in all Linux and Unix-based versions of Sendmail 8 up to version 8.13.5, but not Microsoft Windows flavours of the program. ISS' superbly named X-Force discovered the flaw, which allows a sneaky attacker to exploit the Sendmail SMTP server and take over an affected machine.
Worry not though, for patches are already available.
