To regenerate the sendmail aliases database, sendmail is run locally with the -bi parameters. No checks are made against the users priviliges to determine whether they are able to do this or not. Consequently, it is possible for a malicious user to attempt to regenerate the aliases database and then interrupt it, corrupting the database.
