CVE-2006-0058
Signal handler race condition in Sendmail 8.13.x before 8.13.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering timeouts in a way that causes the setjmp and longjmp function calls to be interrupted and modify unexpected memory locations.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 28.7%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
