   Log Message:
   Update sendmail (with vendor patch) to address the current security issue:
       http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/834865

   Bump to nb2.
   This will change the internal version of sendmail to 8.12.11.20060308.

   >       SECURITY: Replace unsafe use of setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in the server
   >               and client side of sendmail with timeouts in the libsm I/O
   >               layer and fix problems in that code.  Also fix handling of
   >               a buffer in sm_syslog() which could have been used as an
   >               attack vector to exploit the unsafe handling of
   >               setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in combination with signals.
   >               Problem detected by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force.
   >       Handle theoretical integer overflows that could triggered if
   >               the server accepted headers larger than the maximum
   >               (signed) integer value.  This is prevented in the default
   >               configuration by restricting the size of a header, and on
   >               most machines memory allocations would fail before reaching
   >               those values.  Problems found by Phil Brass of ISS.
