The CERT/CC has received confirmation that some copies of the source
code for the Sendmail package have been modified by an intruder to
contain a Trojan horse.

The following files were modified to include the malicious code:

sendmail.8.12.6.tar.Z
sendmail.8.12.6.tar.gz

These files began to appear in downloads from the FTP server
ftp.sendmail.org on or around September 28, 2002. The Sendmail
development team disabled the compromised FTP server on October 6,
2002 at approximately 22:15 PDT. It does not appear that copies
downloaded via HTTP contained the Trojan horse; however, the CERT/CC
encourages users who may have downloaded the source code via HTTP
during this time period to take the steps outlined in the Solution
section as a precautionary measure.
