Sendmail Debug Mode

Debug mode allows an intruder to gain access to a machine through the sendmail port. This option looks for old versions of sendmail that allow debug mode, which could provide an intruder machine access.

Risk: High

Fix: If debug is enabled in your sendmail, obtain a newer copy of sendmail from your vendor.
