Caldera Systems Security Advisory: various security problems with majordomo.
[LinuxToday] There are several bugs in majordomo that allow arbitrary users to execute commands with the privilege of majordomo. If the sendmail aliases file contains aliases that invoke majordomo, a compromise of additional system accounts is possible, which may further on lead to a root compromise. An immediate root exploit has not been found however.
