GEN004620
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The Sendmail server must have the debug feature disabled. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
Debug mode is a feature present in older versions of Sendmail which, if not disabled, may allow an attacker to gain access to a system through the Sendmail service.
Check Content
Check for an enabled debug command provided by the SMTP service. # telnet localhost 25 debug If the command does not return a 500 error code of command unrecognized, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Obtain and install a more recent version of Sendmail, which does not implement the DEBUG feature.
