The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

A "potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing" for Sendmail 8.12.9, when using the nonstandard rulesets (1) recipient (2), final, or (3) mailer-specific envelope recipients, has unknown consequences.

The OSI networking kernel (sys/netiso) in NetBSD 1.6.1 and earlier does not use a BSD-required "PKTHDR" mbuf when sending certain error responses to the sender of an OSI packet, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic or crash) via certain OSI packets.
