RESOLUTION
HP has provided the following steps to resolve the vulnerability in
sendmail(1M).
Note: The vulnerability is only possible if sendmail is configured to use
STARTTLS. Configurations not using STARTTLS are not
vulnerable so the following steps are not necessary.
Edit the configuration file ./etc/mail/sendmail.cf..
Locate the lines where the STARTTLS options are set.
Add or modify a line containing “D{tls_version}<version>” as follows so that
only TLS version 1 will be used:
D{tls_version}TLSv1
Save the modified file and restart the sendmail service:
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start
