CVE-2006-1014: "Argument injection vulnerability in certain PHP 4.x and
5.x applications, when used with sendmail and when accepting remote
input for the additional_parameters argument to the mb_send_mail
function, allows context-dependent attackers to read and create
arbitrary files by providing extra -C and -X arguments to sendmail.
NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of technology-specific
vulnerability, instead of a particular instance; if so, then this
should not be included in CVE."

CVE-2006-1015: "Argument injection vulnerability in certain PHP 3.x,
4.x, and 5.x applications, when used with sendmail and when accepting
remote input for the additional_parameters argument to the mail
function, allows remote attackers to read and create arbitrary files via
the sendmail -C and -X arguments. NOTE: it could be argued that this is
a class of technology-specific vulnerability, instead of a particular
instance; if so, then this should not be included in CVE."

Advisory SUSE-SA:2006:024 claims to have fixed this vulnerability.  I
cannot find record of it fixed upstream.

Please mention the CVE in your changelog.

Thanks,

Alec
