Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM AIX versions 5.2 and earlier Description: The issue concerns the configuration of Sendmail in IBM AIX, which allows it to be used as an open mail relay for sending spam email due to certain features being enabled, including promiscuous relay, acceptance of unresolvable domains, and acceptance of unqualified senders. Recommendations: For IBM AIX versions 5.2 and earlier, consider reconfiguring Sendmail to disable the promiscuous relay, accept unresolvable domains, and accept unqualified senders features to prevent its use as an open mail relay.
