CVE-2001-0653

Sendmail 8.10.0 through 8.11.5, and 8.12.0 beta, allows local users to modify process memory and possibly gain privileges via a large value in the 'category' part of debugger (-d) command line arguments, which is interpreted as a negative number.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
